The Board of Directors of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) has approved a grant of US$218,020 ($44.6m) to Guyana to build capacity in key areas of local government.
A release from the CDB yesterday said that this will enable decentralisation of public service delivery, and greater local involvement in social and economic development, consistent with the sustainable development goals.
Landmark local government elections were held last year after a gap of 22 years and many weaknesses have been discerned in the system.
