Constrained by limited finances due to government withholding their subvention, the International Decade for People of African Descent Assembly-Guyana (IDPADA-G) has stated that it will be taking a new direction in the offering of its services.

The organisation will focus on providing an array of training opportunities and policy advocacy to Afro-Guyanese, while continuing to host calendar events, Chairman of IDPADA-G’s Coordinating Council, Vincent Alexander explained during a press conference on Monday.

“We have revised our priorities to include greater focus on policy issues affecting people of African descent…We have shifted from the material kind of involvement to [training] and policy advocacy… that’s what we have done in the restructuring.”
