Guyana gets $344M for feasibility study from Kuwait

The Government of Guyana has received a grant of Kuwaiti Dinars (KD) 500,000 (Equivalent to GY$344M) from the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development to undertake a Technical and Economic Feasibility Study for the Redesign of the Belfield to Rosignol Road Network.
The study will be carried out by the Public Infrastructure Ministry and will aim to solve the issues of deteriorating roads, poor drainage and road safety of Belfield to Rosignol.
According to the Department of Public Information (DPI), residents of more than twenty-seven villages along Belfield to Rosignol will benefit from this road project upon completion.
The redesign of the network will ensure enhanced capacity of the roads, strengthen trade and economic development and facilitate new and improved interactions among farming communities. It will also reduce delays and increase user satisfaction.
The Fund, one of Guyana’s developmental partners, has over the years, assisted Government to undertake feasibility studies and designs for the upgrade of road networks within the country. A similar project was undertaken in 2011 for the upgrade of the Better Hope to Belfield road network.
