The “One Guyana Digital” project is a 3-year project that seeks to address the supply and demand needs of the growing Information, Communication, and Technology (ICT) sector in Guyana. It does so by training of 2,000 Guyanese persons as full stack developer. The ultimate outcome of the project is to enhance inclusive economic growth in Guyana by increasing employability of Guyanese men and women in the ICT sector. It also seeks to increase inclusive employment opportunities for Guyanese men and women, including from marginalized group in the ICT sector.

The frequency of natural and climate-related catastrophes, such as earthquakes and floods, has been increasing globally resulting in significant humanitarian needs in the wake of disasters. In 2023 alone, 399 significant natural disasters were recorded by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters, exceeding local capacity to respond. They affected over 93 million people and caused nearly 90,000 deaths. In these humanitarian crises, people are often displaced without their personal belongings and in areas that lack access to essential relief items. Given the sudden-onset nature of many of these crises, Canada maintains a humanitarian toolkit that enables rapid responses to sudden-onset crises through the international humanitarian system.

With GAC’s support, the Canadian Red Cross Society (CRCS) aims to support timely procurement and deployment of emergency relief supplies to vulnerable populations affected by humanitarian crises. The supplies include blankets, hygiene and shelter kits, tarpaulins, buckets, jerrycans, mosquito nets, menstrual hygiene management kits and solar lamps to help meet the differentiated needs of vulnerable populations.
