Dr Quacy Grant

This is the sixth entry in a series on the current state of civil society in Guyana.

As a civil society organisation, the Guyana National Youth Council (GNYC) sees dialogue with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport as essential, according to President Dr Quacy Grant, who says a partnership is needed to ensure that national policies and their implementation are in the interest of all. 

However, while the GNYC wants to meet with the government as it relates to the national youth policy, representation at an upcoming  Commonwealth forum and other areas, Grant said it has had had no success in meeting with the Minister responsible for this sector, Charles Ramson.
