Guyana
The Challenge
Agriculture accounted for over 43% of Guyana's gross domestic product in 2005 and sugar for almost 20% of gross domestic product and 40% of agricultural production. The sugar industry faces a 36% cut in price subsidies over a four year period. USAID's economic growth program focuses on creating an environment that supports the growth of non-traditional exports and strengthens the competitiveness of the private sector. National elections, due in 2006, have historically been associated with suspicion and non-acceptance of results by the main opposition party. USAID's democracy and governance program provides support for the development and sustainability of institutions and systems that promote and support democratic principles and good governance. With the second highest HIV prevalence rate in the western hemisphere, Guyana became a beneficiary in 2004 under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). USAID's program addresses HIV prevention, treatment, care and support.
