The first phase of Guyana’s support will include the provision of essential supplies, such as generators, tarpaulins, and chainsaws, to assist with recovery and rebuilding efforts. These resources will be mobilised through a joint initiative between the Government of Guyana and the private sector, under the co-ordination of the CDC and the direct stewardship of the Prime Minister.
