This project aims to support participative planning in Guyana by bringing local populations, community leaders, community-based non-governmental organizations, business leaders, and government agencies together to work on identifying development needs, setting goals, and outlining community development plans. The project is implemented by two communities in partnership with the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CHPA), with training and support provided by the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP). The project is aligned with the Government of Guyana's Poverty Reduction Strategy, which promotes the building of planning and organizational capacities at the community level. It is also in line with the priorities of Caribbean countries as outlined in their urban rehabilitation programs. This is one of two parts of a project valued at $499,800. The first part of the project has been completed.
