The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in collaboration with the Inter-national Organization of Migration (IOM), on Tuesday launched the Migration Profile in Guyana: Promoting Evidence-Based Policy-Making project.
The Ministry in a release stated that Guyana stands to benefit from the IOM-backed project, which will “centralise, share and analyze data collection on migration and compile existing data to better inform migration policy.”
At the event, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hugh Todd spoke of the government’s efforts to use science to inform public policy. He noted that the evidence-based approach will assist in determining the country’s population demographics which will in turn aid its development drive.
