Ambassador Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett on Monday engaged members of the Princeton Group on the United Nations (UN80) reform process, where she outlined her vision for implementing reforms if elected the next United Nations Secretary-General (UNSG). During the engagement, Rodrigues-Birkett said she would focus on ensuring that the UN becomes more agile, effective and efficient while remaining responsive to the needs of member states and fit for purpose in an evolving global landscape. She welcomed the opportunity to discuss her approach to implementing decisions arising from the UN80 reform process, noting that the organisation must adapt to meet emerging global challenges while continuing to serve its core mandate. Rodrigues-Birkett also thanked Ambassador Christian Wenaweser, Permanent Representative of Liechtenstein to the UN, and members of the Princeton Group for organising the engagement. She expressed appreciation to participants for their questions and perspectives, saying they contributed to a constructive dialogue on the future direction of the organisation. Rodrigues-Birkett is among five official nominees seeking to succeed António Guterres as the next UNSG when his second term ends on December 31, 2026.

Last week, she outlined a five-pronged agenda for her first 100 days in office should she be elected, centred on humanitarian action, support for vulnerable countries, institutional reform, conflict prevention and financing. She also pledged to appoint a senior leadership team that reflects competence, geographical balance and gender balance. The other candidates are María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés, nominated by Antigua and Barbuda; Rafael Mariano Grossi, nominated by Argentina; Rebeca Grynspan Mayufis, nominated by Costa Rica; and former Senegalese President Macky Sall, nominated by Burundi. The SG is appointed by the 193-member United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on the recommendation of the Security Council. While the Council, particularly its five permanent members with veto power, plays a decisive role in recommending a candidate, the final appointment is made by the General Assembly. If elected, Rodrigues-Birkett would become the first woman to serve as UNSG since the organisation was established in 1945, as well as the first Caribbean national to hold the post.
Rodrigues-Birkett has served as Guyana’s Permanent Representative to the UN since 2020. She previously served as Director of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) Liaison Office in Geneva from 2017 to 2020, Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2008 to 2015, and Minister of Amerindian Affairs from 2001 to 2008.
Senior Minister in the Office of the President with Responsibility for Finance, Dr Ashni Singh, on Monday presented the Natural Resource Fund (NRF) Annual Report for the 2025 fiscal year to the National Assembly, in keeping with the requirements of the Natural Resource Fund Act 2021. The report was tabled under Section 32(4) of the Act, alongside the Public Accountability and Oversight Committee’s 2025 Annual Report and notifications of petroleum revenues paid into the Fund during the period April 1 to June 30, 2026. According to the Finance Ministry, the submissions is part of the Government’s statutory reporting obligations for the management of the country’s oil revenues. During the presentation, Dr Singh acknowledged the work of the NRF Board of Directors, the Public Accountability and Oversight Committee, and the Investment Committee in carrying out their responsibilities. The current NRF Board, reappointed on August 31, 2024, is chaired by Major General (Ret’d) Joseph Singh and includes Dunstan Barrow, Ramesh Dookhoo, Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett and Professor Compton Bourne. The Speaker of the National Assembly also circulated the Public Accountability and Oversight Committee’s Annual Report for 2025, as required under Section 6(6) of the NRF Act.
The committee, which was also reappointed on August 31, 2024, is chaired by Clement Sealey and comprises representatives from the National Assembly, the religious community, the private sector, organised labour and the professions. According to the Ministry, the nine-member committee is responsible for providing non-governmental oversight of the operations of the Fund, replacing the 22-member committee established under the previous NRF Act of 2019. Dr Singh also presented notifications to the National Assembly detailing all petroleum revenues paid into the Fund between April 1 and June 30, 2026, in accordance with Section 33(2) of the Act. The Ministry reported that the balance of the Natural Resource Fund stood at just under US$4 billion at the end of May 2026. The Ministry also highlighted findings from the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) 2025 Article IV Mission, which noted progress in strengthening the governance of the Fund and improving fiscal transparency. In its staff concluding statement, the IMF had said that the authorities had advanced governance of the NRF through the presentation of annual reports to Parliament, regular publication and parliamentary notification of petroleum revenue receipts, and the Bank of Guyana’s monthly and quarterly reports on the Fund’s financial performance. The Government said it will continue to manage the country’s oil revenues in accordance with the provisions of the NRF Act and direct the Fund’s resources toward investments intended to benefit both current and future generations.
The National Assembly on Thursday gave the green light to a supplementary budget amounting to $54.9 billion, a move Minister with the Officer of the President Responsible for Finance Dr Ashni Sign said underscores his Government’s determination to accelerate priority projects across housing, infrastructure, agriculture, energy, and public utilities. Monday’s passage came without opposition support the sitting did not see any contribution from the Opposition on any of the items on the Order Paper and instead, they attempted to drown out the proceedings with chants and the drumming of tables. When the House changed to the Committee of Supply to determine the estimates for both current and capital projects, the Opposition’s stance did not change, even as Dr Singh explained that the sums include $4.7 billion in current expenditure and $50.14 billion in capital expenditure. According to Singh, the additional resources are essential to ensure that projects already in motion are completed on schedule and without disruption with the largest allocations, some $17.5 billion and 19 B, being earmarked for the Housing and the Gas to Energy (GtE) Project respectively. Reelecting the administration’s continued prioritisation of housing as a cornerstone of national development, he said that this injection of funds supplement the $159 billion already allocated to the Ministry, and will sustain the rapid expansion of the Government’s housing programme, designed to deliver serviced lots, modern communities, and improved water access nationwide.
Under Ministers of Housing Colin Croal and Vanessa Benn, the Housing Ministry has consistently been positioned as one of the Government’s flagship sectors, with authorities emphasising its role in creating livable communities, stimulating construction activity and supporting Guyana’s broader urbanisation strategy.
Gas‑to‑Energy Project
With regards to other sums in the supplementary budget, the Office of the Prime Minister (PM) secured $19.1 billion with much of which directed towards the GtE Project in Region Three (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara) and has been touted as critical to lowering electricity prices, diversifying Guyana’s energy mix and reducing reliance on imported fuels. While the supplementary allocation provides additional resources, the estimates note that the project is expected to become operational months from now. The Ministry of Public Works has been allocated $8.5 billion to advance its work programme with miscellaneous roads and drainage getting $6 billion to finance upgrades across communities. Hinterland roads will see $2.5 billion dedicated to these projects that aims at improving transportation links in remote regions, reducing travel times, enhancing access to markets, healthcare, and education. Agriculture also features prominently in the supplementary estimates, with the sector receiving an additional $8.3 billion. Included in that allocation is $3 billion for the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) with the document stating that part of the funding will provide for retroactive payments to workers employed by the corporation. The supplementary estimates also provide $600 million for the Ministry of Public Utilities and Aviation, targeted at maintaining coastal airstrips, facilities that are critical lifelines for hinterland communities, enabling passenger travel, medical evacuations and cargo transport.
Water interventions
Additionally, $496.3 million has been allocated for water interventions, including the establishment of water filling stations to improve access to potable water. The Ministry of Home Affairs received supplementary funding to bolster the Customs Anti‑Narcotics Unit (CANU). Overall, the supplementary budget channels resources into the Government’s major investment programmes, with housing, infrastructure, agriculture and energy accounting for the largest shares.
The passage of the Guyana Development Bank Bill marks a significant policy shift in the country’s approach to economic inclusion. For decades, access to affordable financing has remained one of the greatest barriers facing small entrepreneurs, farmers, agro-processors and countless aspiring business owners. While commercial banks have played an essential role in supporting economic activity, their lending models have naturally prioritized risk management, often leaving those without sufficient collateral or established credit histories unable to secure financing.
The creation of the Guyana Development Bank will bridge that long-standing gap and rather than competing directly with traditional financial institutions, the new bank has been designed to serve a segment of the population that has historically struggled to access capital despite possessing viable business ideas and the determination to succeed. In doing so, the legislation has the potential to transform not only individual livelihoods but also the structure of the national economy.
Economic growth is most meaningful when opportunities are widely shared and with Guyana’s rapid expansion has generated investment, employment and new commercial prospects across multiple sectors. However, sustained development requires more than impressive macroeconomic indicators. It demands mechanisms that allow ordinary citizens to participate directly in the country’s prosperity through entrepreneurship, innovation and enterprise development.
Access to finance remains one of the most decisive factors separating a business idea from a functioning enterprise. Many small entrepreneurs possess technical skills, market knowledge and strong work ethics but lack the collateral demanded by conventional lending institutions. Land titles, substantial assets and lengthy financial records are often prerequisites for commercial borrowing, creating barriers for young entrepreneurs, women, small-scale farmers, fisherfolk and residents of rural and hinterland communities.
These realities have limited economic participation for many capable Guyanese because of structural constraints within traditional financing systems. Addressing those constraints through targeted development finance is therefore a logical and necessary complement to commercial banking rather than a replacement for it.
The Development Bank’s zero-interest, collateral-free micro-credit facility offers a practical response to this challenge. By extending financing of up to $3 million to eligible small businesses and entrepreneurs, the institution seeks to reduce one of the most persistent obstacles preventing enterprise creation and expansion. For many applicants, the absence of collateral has represented an insurmountable hurdle regardless of the quality of a business proposal. Removing that barrier could unlock significant entrepreneurial activity across the country.
The benefits extend well beyond individual borrowers as small and medium-sized enterprises are widely recognised as engines of economic growth. They generate employment, stimulate local production, encourage innovation and strengthen community economies. When financing becomes more accessible, new businesses can purchase equipment, expand operations, hire additional workers and increase productivity. Those developments create multiplier effects that benefit suppliers, consumers and entire communities.
The agricultural sector stands to gain considerably from this initiative with small farmers frequently possess land, experience and market opportunities but remain constrained by limited access to affordable capital. Financing is often needed for machinery, irrigation, livestock, transportation, storage facilities or value-added processing. Improved access to credit could enable greater agricultural output while supporting national food security objectives and strengthening Guyana’s contribution to regional food production.
Likewise, hinterland communities, women entrepreneurs and young innovators could benefit from financing tailored to their unique circumstances. Expanding access to capital in these areas encourages balanced national development by ensuring that economic opportunities are not confined to established commercial centres. Inclusive growth requires deliberate policies that extend opportunity across every region and demographic.
Equally important is the emphasis on measuring success beyond the volume of loans disbursed. A development bank should ultimately be judged by the sustainability of the businesses it supports, the employment opportunities it generates and the contribution it makes to expanding the productive capacity of the economy. Strong governance, prudent lending standards and effective monitoring will therefore be critical to ensuring that public investment delivers lasting returns.
The passage of the legislation therefore reflects the recognition that economic transformation must include mechanisms that empower those traditionally excluded from formal credit markets. By reducing financing barriers, supporting entrepreneurship and encouraging wider participation in national development, the Guyana Development Bank has the potential to become an important pillar of inclusive economic growth.
As Guyana continues its remarkable economic journey, policies that widen access to opportunity will prove just as important as those that attract investment.
On what would have been his 90th birthday, we honour the life of Oliver Nathaniel Williams—a man whose journey from a teenage recruit in colonial Jamaica to respected veteran and public servant reflected the story of a nation finding its own path.
From his enlistment in the British Armed Forces at just 17 years old to more than five decades of military and public service, Williams dedicated his life to serving Jamaica and its people.
Although he is remembered for the rare distinction of standing in the official receiving line for Queen Elizabeth II on two historic occasions—once as a young soldier in 1953 and again as Vice President of the Jamaica Legion during her final visit to Jamaica in 2002—those moments were only chapters in a much larger story of duty, leadership and service.
Today, with his records preserved by the Royal Commonwealth Society at Cambridge University Library, the Canadian War Museum Library and the National Library of Jamaica, his legacy continues to help tell the story of a generation that experienced colonial Jamaica, witnessed Independence and helped build the modern nation.
Young Recruit from Westmoreland
Oliver Nathaniel Williams was born on July 26, 1936, in Newmarket, Westmoreland, into a generation that would witness some of the most significant chapters in Jamaica’s history. Born before the end of the Second World War and raised under British colonial rule, he would live to see Jamaica gain Independence and spend much of his life helping to build the institutions of the new nation.
Even as a child, his daughter, author and global Holistic Wealth advocate Keisha Blair, recalls that he instinctively looked out for others, often defending his younger siblings at school when they could not defend themselves.
At just 17 years old, he quietly boarded a country bus to Kingston and enlisted in the British Armed Forces. He paid his own fare and told no one at home beforehand—not because he was running away, but because he had already decided that service would define his future.
That decision would shape the rest of his life.
Blair believes her father’s story deserves to be remembered because it reflects Jamaica’s own journey.
“His story connects colonial Jamaica, the coronation era of Queen Elizabeth II, Independence, the Commonwealth after Independence and Jamaica’s modern democratic institutions.”
“Few surviving records illustrate that entire journey through the experience of a single Jamaican.”
A Lifetime of Military Service
Williams belonged to one of the last generations of Jamaicans trained by the British Army on Jamaican soil before Independence.
During his military service, his exceptional aptitude for mathematics caught the attention of his superiors. Recognising his talent, the army arranged for him to receive accounting training at what is now the University of Technology, Jamaica, laying the foundation for the distinguished career that followed.
Although he eventually transitioned from active military service, his commitment to veterans never ended. He served for many years as Vice President of the Jamaica Legion, advocating for former servicemen and women and helping preserve the history and welfare of Jamaica’s veteran community.
His commitment to service ultimately spanned more than 50 years, from his enlistment at age 17 through his retirement as Chief Internal Auditor at the Electoral Office of Jamaica.
Following his passing on April 26, 2025, Williams received full military honours and was laid to rest at the Jamaica Defence Force Military Cemetery at Up Park Camp.
As his funeral procession entered JDF Headquarters, rows of young soldiers stood at attention to salute him one final time—a poignant farewell to the teenager who had answered the call to serve more than seven decades earlier.
Serving Jamaica Beyond the Uniform
After leaving active military service, Williams built a distinguished career in finance and public administration. He served as Chief Financial Officer at Lascelles Group of Companies and Caldon Financial Bank before retiring as Chief Internal Auditor at the Electoral Office of Jamaica.
In that role, he helped safeguard the financial integrity of the institution responsible for administering Jamaica’s elections, contributing to the democratic systems that underpin the modern nation.
His military discipline, integrity and commitment to service continued to define his civilian career, giving him a remarkable record of more than half a century of continuous service to Jamaica.

A Rare Place in History
One chapter of Williams’ life offers a unique window into Jamaica’s changing relationship with the British Crown.
In November 1953, only months after joining the army, the 17-year-old recruit was selected to stand in the official receiving line during Queen Elizabeth II’s first visit to Jamaica as reigning monarch. As she greeted those assembled, she paused and asked him, “Why did you join the army so young?”
Forty-nine years later, Williams once again stood in the official receiving line when the Queen returned to Jamaica for her Golden Jubilee visit in 2002. By then, Jamaica had been independent for four decades, and he was representing the country’s veteran community as Vice President of the Jamaica Legion.
The two encounters, separated by nearly half a century, bookend not only Williams’ remarkable life but also Jamaica’s own journey from colony to independent nation.
Equally remarkable is that Williams preserved the black-and-white photograph from the Queen’s 1953 visit for more than 60 years. Following Queen Elizabeth II’s death, Blair recognised her father in a photograph published by The Guardian, helping reconstruct a story that might otherwise have been lost.

A Legacy That Endures
Today, Oliver Nathaniel Williams’ records are being preserved by the Royal Commonwealth Society Collections at Cambridge University Library, the Canadian War Museum Library and the National Library of Jamaica, ensuring that future generations can study not only his remarkable life but also the experiences of a generation of Jamaicans who lived through colonial rule, witnessed Independence and helped build the modern nation.
For his daughter, Keisha Blair, preserving her father’s story is about more than honouring one man. It is about ensuring that the contributions of Jamaicans who quietly dedicated their lives to service are not forgotten. She hopes his story will inspire greater recognition for a generation whose role in shaping modern Jamaica has too often gone undocumented.
As Oliver Nathaniel Williams is remembered on what would have been his 90th birthday, his legacy lives on—in the institutions he served, the veterans whose interests he championed, the archives preserving his story, and the generations who will continue to learn from a life defined by duty, service and an unwavering commitment to Jamaica.

La CARICOM a salué mardi la publication par le Conseil électoral provisoire (CEP) haïtien d’un calendrier électoral fixant le premier tour des élections présidentielle, législatives et du référendum constitutionnel au 13 décembre 2026. Dans un communiqué publié lundi, le Groupe des éminentes personnalités (EPG) de la CARICOM a qualifié cette annonce de « étape critique » attendue par les acteurs haïtiens et la communauté internationale. « La disponibilité du calendrier donnera sans aucun doute un élan aux préparatifs en cours, notamment l’enregistrement des partis politiques, plateformes et coalitions, ainsi que celui des électeurs », indique le texte.
L’EPG a exhorté le CEP à travailler en étroite collaboration avec tous les acteurs et a appelé l’ensemble des parties prenantes haïtiennes à s’engager pleinement pour garantir des élections « libres et crédibles » permettant la restauration de l’ordre constitutionnel.
Le groupe a toutefois souligné que le succès du processus électoral dépendra d’une amélioration significative de la situation sécuritaire. Il a appelé les pays contributeurs à la Force de Répression des Gangs (FRG) à déployer leurs contingents « le plus rapidement possible » afin de renforcer la mission avant le premier tour. « Les améliorations de la situation sécuritaire globale sont des éléments critiques pour le succès du processus électoral », a insisté l’EPG.
Cette déclaration intervient alors que la CARICOM, lors de sa 51e conférence des chefs de gouvernement début juillet à Sainte-Lucie, avait réaffirmé son « soutien indéfectible » au peuple haïtien et son engagement en faveur du rétablissement de la sécurité et de la gouvernance démocratique. La force multinationale GSF, autorisée par le Conseil de sécurité de l’ONU, peine à être pleinement déployée, alors que son mandat arrive à expiration fin septembre. La CARICOM a récemment plaidé pour son renouvellement face à la persistance de la crise sécuritaire liée aux gangs armés.
Haïti traverse une transition politique prolongée depuis la fin du mandat du Conseil présidentiel de transition en février 2026. Le gouvernement du Premier ministre Alix Didier Fils-Aimé est chargé de conduire le pays vers des élections tout en luttant contre l’emprise des gangs qui contrôlent une grande partie de la capitale et de ses environs. La CARICOM continue de jouer un rôle de facilitation politique via son EPG tout en appelant à un soutien accru de la communauté internationale, tant sur le plan sécuritaire qu’humanitaire.

L’Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) préparerait une vaste opération d’arrestation et d’expulsion ciblant les migrants haïtiens en situation irrégulière, selon des informations rapportée pat la chaine américaine CBS News basées sur des documents fédéraux internes.
Les autorités américaines prévoient des arrestations suivies de placements immédiats sur des vols de déportation, visant particulièrement des États à forte concentration de migrants comme l’Ohio, et notamment la ville de Springfield.
Sollicité, le Département de la Sécurité intérieure (DHS) a refusé de commenter ces planifications opérationnelles.
Cette offensive migratoire coïncide avec l’expiration, ce lundi 27 juillet 2026, des autorisations de travail liées au Statut de protection temporaire (TPS) pour les ressortissants haïtiens.
Le gouvernement haïtien a annoncé suivre de près l’enquête administrative ouverte en République dominicaine concernant les conditions de transport inappropriées d’un ressortissant haïtien dans la province de San Juan.
Dans un communiqué officiel publié le samedi 25 juillet 2026, le Ministère des Affaires Étrangères et des Cultes (MAEC) a indiqué prendre acte de cette démarche tout en maintenant un contact permanent avec les autorités dominicaines pour assurer un suivi rigoureux du dossier.
Face à cet incident, la Chancellerie haïtienne a formellement instruit l’ensemble de ses agents diplomatiques et consulaires en République dominicaine de rester mobilisés pour garantir la défense, l’assistance et la protection des migrants haïtiens.
Le MAEC réaffirme que la sécurité des citoyens haïtiens à l’étranger demeure une priorité absolue et exprime sa volonté de privilégier le dialogue constructif, le respect mutuel et le bon voisinage avec Santo Domingo.
