A new housing consortium was launched at GuyExpo 2025, showcasing how lucrative ventures can be developed through key partnerships.
The AHS Group consortium brings together three local firms- Durable Wood Product, Correia & Correia Ltd., and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) engineering services- along with an international partner.
The three local companies are part of the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA). Together, the companies will be building modular homes to meet the growing housing demand.
“We’ve adhered to the government’s call; there has been a lot of push to local companies to partnerships when it comes to the developmental agenda of the government,” AHS Group representative, Dr. Natasha Gaskin-Peters, said.
She also said that the consortium was deliberately formed in alignment with the government’s push for strategic private-sector partnerships. She urges other local businesses to follow suit.
“You may be working in isolation…think about strategic partnerships, how you can grow your business, it’s not only about doing it alone, getting into partnerships really bodes well,” she urged locals.
Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, Susan Rodrigues, said that the model is a direct response to the government’s call for innovative business solutions, noting that it is “a well thought-out group.”
“It shows that the private sector is responding to the government’s call.
“We’ve been calling for the private sector to form those consortia, make those relationships with companies that have experience that have done this in other parts of the world and can do this on scale because that’s exactly what the housing sector needs,” the minister said.
As the new housing venture was launched, another GMSA member, Barama Company Limited, which has contributed to Guyana’s forestry industry for 30 years, was re-certified under the Guyana National Bureau of Standards’ Made in Guyana programme.
Rodrigues said this also highlights the broader context of innovation within the forestry and manufacturing sectors and the quality, sustainability, and international competitiveness of local products.
“Guyana is a standard bearer when it comes to the forestry sector.
“I hope you are encouraged to continue to explore and experiment with new products and new species [of wood],” Minister Rodrigues said.

Press Release from the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club
The Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) has earned the prestigious 1-Star Environmental Accreditation from the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), marking a significant step forward for motorsport sustainability in Guyana and the Caribbean.
The FIA Environmental Accreditation Programme evaluates motorsport organisations on their environmental policies, systems, and long-term sustainability efforts.
Achieving the 1-Star rating confirms that GMR&SC has successfully established a structured environmental management framework and implemented essential policies at the South Dakota Circuit.
Over the past year, GMR&SC has introduced improved waste-management procedures, strengthened fluid-handling protocols, and taken initial steps toward energy-efficient facility operations.
These actions form the foundation for the club’s future environmental goals.
This achievement also aligns with the Government of Guyana’s national focus on sustainability and responsible environmental practices, supporting the broader national agenda of building environmentally conscious industries and sporting sectors.
Looking ahead, the next FIA audit is scheduled for October 2027, and the GMR&SC has already committed to pursuing the 2-Star Accreditation, the second tier in the FIA’s comprehensive three-star rating system.
Achieving the 2-Star level will require expanded environmental strategies, measurable improvement targets, and further integration of eco-friendly practices across GMRSC’s operations.
GMR&SC President Mahendra Boodhoo, speaking on behalf of the club, said: “This is a proud moment for GMR&SC. Earning the 1-Star Accreditation demonstrates our commitment to growing motorsport responsibly. Our next goal is to achieve the 2-Star rating by the 2027 audit. We are fully committed to ensuring the South Dakota Circuit becomes a Global leader in sustainable motorsport.”
This accomplishment positions GMR&SC among the Global leaders in FIA-aligned environmental standards and strengthens Guyana’s presence on the International motorsport stage.
Georgetown, Guyana (November 14, 2025)—Prime Minister, Brigadier (Ret’d), the Honourable Mark Phillips said that no community will be forgotten and no Guyanese will be left behind as the Government works to ensure that all regions, including the hinterland, benefit from the Government’s goal to promote an energy mix that prioritises renewable generation.
The Prime Minister made the assertion at the official commissioning of the 0.15 MW Hydropower Plant today in Kato, Region 8 (Potaro-Siparuni), marking a transformative milestone for the community and the Region’s energy landscape.
He said that the Kato Hydropower Plant project is part of a nationwide transformation in Guyana’s energy infrastructure and equitable development.
“This is not isolated. It is one part of a broader national vision: the transformation of Guyana’s energy sector. No community is forgotten; no Guyanese will be left standing in darkness while others stride into the future.”
This project, he noted, was a result of the government’s direct engagement with the people of Kato and a commitment from President Dr Irfaan Ali. He said that this exemplifies the Government’s responsiveness to community needs, leadership, and decisive action.
“From that commitment came renewed work. From that work came partnership, and from partnership came this 150 kW hydropower plant—a firm example of what happens when Government listens, acts, and follows through.”
Prime Minister Phillips highlighted the project’s remarkable local impact, noting that approximately 75% of the workforce that built the facility came from Kato and neighbouring communities.
“Beyond its economic benefits, a plant like this is also measured in the places where power will flow and transform daily life. Thirty-four community buildings will be supplied by the hydropower system. These are real institutions that touch every family in Kato.”
The Prime Minister further revealed that seventeen residents of Kato will be permanently employed to operate the plant around the clock. Eight operators, including five women and four linemen, have already been receiving specialist training in Lethem and Mahdia.
He also emphasised that this project goes well beyond simply supplying electricity; it is fundamentally about economic liberation and creating opportunities.
He encouraged the residents of Kato to allow this new plant to serve as both a source of power and unity.
“Use the energy to build businesses, strengthen education and support your health services, your craft heritage, your youth programmes. Use it to raise your standard of living and expand your opportunities.”
The Prime Minister highlighted Guyana’s energy upgrade, citing the addition of 186.2 MW from the Garden of Eden plant, Columbia plant and emergency power from two power-ships. He also said that the Gas-to-Energy project will deliver a 300 MW power plant and a Natural Gas Liquids facility in Wales.
Additionally, he also emphasised investment in hinterland renewables, with hydropower plants at Moco-Moco, Kumu, and Kato, solar farms at Lethem, Bartica, Mahdia, Wakenaam, and Leguan, and over 36,000 solar home systems distributed.
The Prime Minister Phillips congratulated the people of Kato, thanked the local workforce, recognised partners, and reaffirmed the Administration’s steadfast commitment to building an energy-secure, modern, and unified nation. He explained that this plant stands as a demonstration site for technical, social, financial, economic, and environmental sustainability in hinterland energy systems.
“With renewable generation feeding essential public services, Kato becomes a model place other communities will visit to see what is possible when a country commits to equitable, resilient, modern power supply.”
He added that there will be strong technical oversight through Mahdia Power & Light, continued training and professional development for operators, planned upgrades as demand increases, and integration with wider renewable systems across Region 8.
“As Guyana accelerates its low-carbon transition, communities like Kato will move forward with the nation powered, equipped, and empowered. Our Government will continue delivering energy access community by community, region by region, until Guyana becomes a unified, modern, clean-energy nation.” [Office of the Prime Minister press release]
See below the full release from the Guyana Forestry Commission:
November 14, 2025: The Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC), through Commissioner Edward Goberdhan, today joined the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA) in celebrating the Exhibitors’ Value Chain Forum and the official launch of the Housing Consortium, together with Barama Re-Certification of its Made in Guyana Product Certification at GuyExpo 2025.
In his remarks, Goberdhan underscored that the event reflects the transformative moment Guyana is experiencing under the visionary leadership of His Excellency President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali—whose unwavering commitment to sustainable, low-carbon development is reshaping the forestry, housing, and manufacturing sectors in ways that are generating new value, new industries, and new opportunities for citizens across the country.
Goberdhan highlighted that President Ali’s leadership has championed a bold reimagining of how Guyana’s forests can drive national prosperity while remaining among the most sustainably managed in the world. Through the advancement of the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) 2030, President Ali has positioned sustainable forestry as a catalyst for innovation, green manufacturing, climate-resilient housing, and community development. The GFC, aligned with this national vision, has been accelerating its programmes to expand value-added timber production, improve manufacturing standards, and ensure that forest-based enterprises—from small community groups to large producers—can contribute meaningfully to Guyana’s economic diversification.
He noted that over the past few years, the GFC has helped to modernize Guyana’s timber sector by supporting the production of kiln-dried lumber, mouldings, furniture, and precision-milled components for modular and prefabricated homes. These products are now forming the backbone of new local housing models, including those championed by the Housing Consortium launched today. In addition, a wide range of timber species including the Lesser Known Species are being utilized. Goberdhan emphasized that this Consortium is a direct outcome of President Ali’s call to build a stronger domestic manufacturing base—one that uses sustainably harvested Guyanese timber to create high-quality, affordable, climate-resilient homes for families, both locally and for future export markets.
The Commissioner also noted the tremendous strides Guyana has made in improving traceability, certification, and digital monitoring across the forest sector, helping to assure international markets that Guyanese timber is both environmentally sound and legally verified. These advances are reinforcing the country’s ability to increase exports of value-added wood products and supply a rapidly expanding domestic construction sector—both of which support Guyana’s position as a global leader in climate and forest stewardship.
Goberdhan further underscored that President Ali’s leadership has been critical in ensuring that prosperity from the forest sector is shared widely. Expanded support to Community Forest Organisations, streamlined licensing processes, training, and value-chain integration are enabling hinterland communities to benefit from new jobs, improved livelihoods, and greater participation in national economic growth. This inclusive, people-centred approach is a defining feature of the President’s low-carbon vision.
He added that the integration of forestry, housing, manufacturing, and climate action—and the achievements on display at GuyExpo 2025—demonstrate the success of Guyana’s model: one where sustainable forest management drives industrial transformation; where innovation reduces waste and increases competitiveness; and where national development remains firmly aligned with global environmental leadership.
Commissioner Goberdhan concluded by reaffirming the GFC’s commitment to supporting President Ali’s transformative agenda. He also congratulated Barama Company Ltd on achieving the recertification of the Made in Guyana label and the company’s significant investment in added value activities and job creation. He further noted that the Commission will continue to champion value-added growth, strengthen forest governance, empower communities, and deepen collaboration with the private sector to ensure that Guyana’s forests remain an engine of sustainable national development.
Through actions like the one launched at the Expo, Guyana is not only safeguarding its forests— it is proving that a low-carbon pathway can deliver economic strength, industrial innovation, and long-term resilience for all Guyanese.
The math of climate change has long worked against small Caribbean countries. Rising seas, stronger storms and tightening debt have been matched with aid that is slow, conditional and often inadequate.
On Friday in Belém, on the sidelines of COP30, a group of Caribbean policymakers, technocrats and advocates tried to flip that equation, not by pleading for more grants, but by demonstrating how they are building their own climate finance systems from the ground up. At the centre of the conversation was Guyana’s forest model, increasingly viewed as a reference point for the region.
The panel, hosted by the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC) and the Virgin Islands Climate Change Trust Fund, brought together representatives from Guyana, Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados and the British Virgin Islands to showcase “models of international best practice” emerging from Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and low-lying coastal nations.
“We already know that the international climate finance architecture has not been very responsive to our vulnerabilities,” said Colin Young, executive director of the CCCCC. “Countries in the Caribbean are not sitting and waiting. They’re mobilising financing to invest in climate resilience, adaptation and mitigation.”
Guyana’s forests as a financial asset
Preeya Rampersaud, representing Guyana, opened with what she called “a little bit of Guyana’s story.”
“Guyana has 18 million hectares of forest; 85 per cent of our territory is forested,” she said. “Most of this is intact, with around 15 per cent owned by Indigenous peoples. Ninety-nine per cent of our forest is still standing.”

Those forests store an estimated 19.5 gigatons of carbon dioxide and remove roughly 154 million tonnes of CO2 each year, a “global asset” that anchors Guyana’s forest carbon programme.
Rampersaud traced the evolution of that programme from the pioneering 2009 agreement with Norway to today’s entry into the voluntary carbon market. Over 15 years, Guyana has expanded from REDD+ credits into new ecosystem services, biodiversity, freshwater and eventually blue carbon, while channelling revenues into both community projects and national low-carbon infrastructure.
The underlying ambition, she said, is to keep the forest standing while using the proceeds to restructure the wider economy around clean energy, resilience and green jobs.
Forests, coasts and shared learning across the Caribbean
Rampersaud also stressed that the model is adaptable beyond Guyana’s vast forests.
“It’s not just about large forest areas. It really is about how we can safeguard all forest areas,” she said.
She pointed to emerging work on mangroves and possible blue carbon assets, arguing that Caribbean neighbours with extensive marine space, including Belize and several island states, can tailor the approach to their own geographies.
“We see knowledge sharing and learning as part of our work,” she said. “That’s one of the benefits of how we work in the Caribbean… a South–South kind of learning, where we learn from each other.”
Antigua and Barbuda: Why the Caribbean must stop trying to behave like “triple-A” countries
Antigua and Barbuda’s experience, laid out by Diann Black-Layne, Director of the Department of Environment and former climate ambassador, offered one of the session’s sharpest critiques; Caribbean states are still being pressured to behave like the world’s most advanced financial jurisdictions and it is holding them back.

She described the Sustainable Island Resource Framework (SIRF) Fund, established in 2019 and accredited to both the Green Climate Fund and the Adaptation Fund, as a breakthrough. But she stressed that the very process of gaining accreditation reveals the system’s deeper flaws.
Small states believe they have to deliver “triple-A”-style financial management, no mistakes, full risk aversion, and heavy documentation. That culture has seeped into regional ministries and public institutions.
“We are structuring our finances based on risk models that are not unique to us,” she said. “The reason it’s so hard to get access to financing is because we’re still using the World Bank’s and Inter-American Development Banks’s model, not one that reflects our own realities.”
The consequences are stark – Caribbean technocrats are trained to avoid risk entirely, leaving states ill-equipped to engage with the 80 per cent of the global capital market where most climate finance actually sits.
“We don’t know how to engage with them,” Black-Layne said. “We have no way of speaking their language.”
And yet, Antigua and Barbuda has built a project portfolio nearing US$90 million, from solarised schools and churches to electric vehicle charging networks, by pairing accreditation with pragmatic, sometimes unorthodox problem-solving. During COVID-19, the government rewired a loan programme by directly procuring equipment, cutting costs by “80 per cent” and expanding the number of families served.
Her message was clear: the Caribbean must stop structuring its finances around external expectations. “We have to change our mindset about money,” she said. “About going to the market to get the money.”
BVI and Barbados, new levies and whole-of-island resilience
Former Deputy Premier Dr Kedrick Pickering outlined how the British Virgin Islands is capitalising its Climate Change Trust Fund through an environmental levy on visitors and residents. The next challenge, he said, is creating the legal and administrative structures to accept philanthropic and private-sector donations at scale.

“There is a willingness to give more,” he said. “But the problem is having the structure to accept donations when they are made available.”
Barbados, represented by Ricardo Marshall of the Roofs to Reefs Programme, offered a different approach: a whole-of-island model linking household-level resilience, hurricane-ready roofs, water tanks, with coastal protection and marine conservation.
A regional push for homegrown financial rules
Across the panel, a common frustration emerged. Caribbean states are still navigating a climate finance architecture they did not design.
Black-Layne warned that as long as regional economies model their financial systems on institutions like the World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank, they will continue to be locked out of the markets where most climate capital now moves.
Rampersaud added that Guyana’s model demonstrates what is possible when states turn ecosystem services, forests, rivers, mangroves, into revenue streams that fund real development; resilient agriculture, sea defences, and community-driven projects.
“Adaptation is critical for us,” she said, noting that 90 per cent of Guyana’s population lives on its low-lying coast. “We’re looking to transition our energy footprint, build climate-resilient agriculture and manage droughts and floods, while keeping one of the world’s most intact forests standing.”
As the session closed, the message was less about waiting on global reform and more about rewriting the rules at home using examples such as Guyana’s forest credits to Antigua’s direct-access fund and the BVI’s levy system.
“We’re not just telling a story,” Rampersaud said. “We’re sharing challenges, lessons and how we can learn from other countries as well. Within that framework, we learn from each other.”
As part of its ongoing efforts to enhance infrastructure at the East Coast Demerara venue, the Helene One and Two Sports Club will embark on a fund-raising duck curry competition on Sunday, November 16.
Proceeds from the event will go towards payment for the contractor who built a spanking new washroom facility at the venue.
Chairman of the Sports Club Anil Singh is encouraging persons to support the fund-raising efforts.

“We’re on a move to enhance the facility and this is just one step in that direction, but we can’t do it alone. We need the support and we want persons to come and have a good time, while supporting a worthy cause. We want persons to be comfortable when they come to the venue and the construction of the new washroom is indicative of that,” Singh said.
While there is no entrance fee for members of the public to access the event, Singh highlighted that there will be a stocked bar, duck curry on sale and musical entertainment.
The Ministry of Education is currently conducting a full review of the National School Feeding Programme to ensure that the nutritional needs of learners are met, and that this incredible initiative continues to have an even more profound impact on the lives of school children and their families all across the country.
“Assuming office in September, I had a sit down with the School Feeding Unit to ascertain the daily operations of the programme and how we can improve it to create the impact that we want,” Minister of Education Sonia Parag said in a press release.
The ministry has been working keenly with the Carnegie School of Home Economics to review the menu and improve on its nutritional output.
In the meantime, complaints raised in the public and via social media will all be investigated, and addressed with urgency and fairness.
The ministry said it is prepared to work with those who are willing to meet the standards set out. Further, there will be no compromise when it comes to ensuring the health and well-being of children.
Moreover, headteachers are reminded of their responsibility to report any issues with the programme urgently to the Ministry of Education, and their function as an added level of supervision to ensure its continued success.
See below full press release issued by the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC):
In keeping with the Government of Guyana’s zero-tolerance approach to illegal mining operations, the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) is currently engaged in a joint-agency operation within the Ireng area to confront unlawful mining and related issues.
As part of this exercise, several illegal mining operations were identified, resulting in the detention of equipment and minerals in accordance with regulations. Several non-nationals were also arrested, and where appropriate, these actions will be followed by recommendations for charges. These joint operations will continue as part of the broader effort to reduce noncompliance in the mining sector.
The GGMC has also noted, with concern, that some political parties are attempting to exploit and inflame the situation for their own purposes. The commission does not support such actions and rejects any effort to politicise enforcement activities that are strictly guided by law, established procedure, and the national interest.
The Government of Guyana reiterates that these gross illegalities will be addressed firmly and without exception. All relevant agencies remain fully engaged to ensure the law is upheld, offenders are held accountable, and mining operations nationwide adhere to the standards and regulations designed to protect the sector and the country.
Oyanna Stewart, 28, of Wismar, Linden was granted $600,000 bail after being charged with manslaughter on Friday. Stewart is accused of fatally stabbing her boyfriend, Kevin Alexander, a 30-year-old carpenter also from Wismar.
