The Amerindian Peoples Association (APA) and key partners have embarked on a two-year project aimed at the demarcation and titling of Indigenous lands in Guyana and the revision of the Amerindian Act.
The “Securing and enhancing Indigenous land tenure in Guyana” project, which began in mid-July and runs until July of 2021, is being undertaken by the APA, the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs (MoIPA), the National Toshaos’ Council (NTC) and the South Rupununi District Council (SRDC)/ South Central People’s Development Association (SCPDA) with US$1.6 million in grant funding from the International Land and Forest Tenure Facility.
