Residents of 23 communities selected for the Government’s ‘Model Village Initiative’ are set to receive greater access to business financing, with the Guyana Development Bank (GDB) expected to visit communities after consultations to outline lending opportunities and help residents develop businesses.
The programme, however, is drawing attention to the political geography of the communities selected. Several of the targeted areas are located in Regions Two and Six, which have traditionally been strongholds of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP).
The Government says the initiative is intended to combine infrastructure improvements with economic opportunities, rather than simply upgrading roads, drainage and public spaces.
