With efforts to revitalise the co-operative society movement in Guyana, the Ministry of Social Protection’s Labour Department will be establishing four new co-operative movements in the coastland areas in 2018.

According to the Department of Public Information (DPI), the US$12 million funded project aims to create a minimum of 160 jobs for persons in the Mocha, Buxton, Beterverwagting and Ithaca areas.

According to Chief Co-operatives Development Officer, Perlina Gifth, the movement will take the form of a worker-type society to benefit the employees.
