GuySuCo moves to set up committee for plan to mitigate impact of sugar worker layoffs

The Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) yesterday held a Stakeholder Engagement Session to enlist public sector agencies in the creation of a committee to implement the company’s Sustainable and Resilient Communities Programme, which is intended to support areas affected by the sacking of sugar workers.

According to a release from the sugar company, the meeting was held at the Staff Club at the GuySuCo Head Office at LBI, with the objective of mobilising additional public sector agencies to establish a coordinating committee to implement the Sustainaible and Resilient Communities Programme over the medium to long term in Skeldon, Rose Hall, Enmore, Wales and neighbouring communities.

The release explained that the discussions were centred on the three components of the programme—to build more economic, social and environmental resilience in the affected communities—and to elevate the implementation of the next level for more sustainability.
