  2. Building competence and promoting rights of indigenous peoples

  3. Shifting dynamics Value of Extractive materialsEco-system services / forest

  4. Current situation • There are improvement that are evident, including transportation (regional roads and more regular air and boat service) and other public services in the hinterland. However the Amerindian community initiatives are limited to the interventions made by donors or technical advice agencies. The national and regional authorities have increased support to the Amerindians over the years, but the communities are currently not sufficiently organized to take advantage of this support.

  5. Current situation • Whilst there remain high level of concern and willingness among the national authorities and external agencies over the situation of the Amerindian peoples, the administration is also plagued with a number of critical human and other resources to address specific preferences and problems that are logistically distant and can be difficult.

  6. Current situation • One problem that has emerged from the type of donor assistance given to the communities is a culture of dependence on charity and gifts. • This has undermined the willingness of the Amerindians to grapple with their situation and to find endogenous solutions to challenges of development.

  7. Indigenous Peoples’ Commission GUYANA’S Constitutional Reform in 1996 saw the creation of the “Rights Commissions”. Section 212G of the Guyana Constitution states: “There are hereby established the following Commissions……………., Goal: “….to strengthen social justice and the rule of Law.”
