Community Development Advocate, and urban and rural planner Elsie Harry has called for stronger citizen coalitions across Guyana’s ethnic and professional communities, arguing that division among ordinary people has made it easier for governments to ignore the voices of the very communities their policies and projects are supposed to serve.**
Harry made the comments during the “Ina Maimu Yetatokon (Listen to Our Voices)” event hosted by the Amerindian Peoples Association (APA) at the Guyana Marriott Hotel on Friday.
Commending the APA for bringing people together, Harry described herself as an ally of the organisation’s work and said Guyana has numerous groups advocating for rights, but too often those groups operate separately.
