Region 6 Roads Rehabilitation: Building Infrastructure and Creating Jobs

In Region 6 (East Berbice–Corentyne), over 150 roads have been rehabilitated since 2020, creating jobs for more than 5,000 residents. These projects enhance access to schools, markets, and health centres, while improving trade and daily commutes. By prioritizing local labour and contractors, the initiative strengthens community ownership and boosts household incomes. Durable road designs with upgraded drainage ensure resilience against flooding. Overall, the programme reflects Guyana’s wider goals of regional development, economic inclusivity, and sustainable growth.
