The Ministry of Public Infrastructure (MOPI) is set to use a US1.6 million grant from the government of Kuwait to fund a technical and economic feasibility study for the redesign of the road network from Belfield to Rosignol.
According to the Ministry of Finance, through its Fund for Arab Economic Development, the government of Kuwait has provided to the Government of Guyana a Grant of 500,000 Kuwaiti Dinars to undertake the study which will be carried out by MOPI.
The redesign of the network is expected to ensure enhanced capacity of the roads, strengthen trade and economic development and facilitate new and improved interactions among farming communities. It will also, according to DPI reduce delays and increase user satisfaction.
The Fund, one of Guyana’s development partners, has over the years assisted Government to undertake feasibility studies and designs for the upgrade of road networks within the country. A similar project was undertaken in 2011 for the upgrade of the Better Hope to Belfield road network.
