Georgetown: A US$10.7 million Amerindian Land Titling Contract was signed today between the Government of Guyana in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP.)
This was done at the opening of the 7th annual National Toshaos Council Meeting at the Guyana International Conference Centre.
This is being made possible under the Guyana/Norway agreement. The Norwegian Government agreed to pay Guyana up to US$250 million by 2015 for keeping its deforestation project.
The money will aid in advancing Government’s Land Titling Project which has already seen 97 Amerindian villages receiving titles and 77 being demarcated.
This year’s meeting is being held under the theme: “Culture of Good Governance for Sustained Village Economies.”
