The Taskforce’s aim was to compile data regarding the number of Cooperatives existing within the various regions of Guyana and examine the functioning and non-functioning Cooperatives to see their feasibility to the nation of Guyana. Social Protection Minister Amna Ally stated: “Cooperatives is the way for a bright future for Guyana.”
According to the Department of Public Information, the report was entitled “Revitalisation of the Cooperative Movement” and was handed over by the Chairman of the Ministerial Taskforce, Chief Education Officer (Retired), Ed Caesar.
The Ministerial Taskforce, which consists of 10 persons, received another assignment by Minister Ally; this time in an advisory capacity and this process is set to be in motion with immediate effect. The Ministerial Taskforce was formed on June 30, 2016 with the specific task of assessing the current state of Cooperatives countrywide. The compiled data will serve as a guide for a solidified structure to be set up regarding the revitalisation of the Cooperative movement in Guyana.
