IICA multicountry project, institutional code 5592-00, implemented in Guyana, Jamaica, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to accelerate the demonstration, adoption and scaling of soil-health-based climate-smart agricultural practices. It combined demonstration plots, practice validation, farmer and extension-officer training, technical assistance, and soil and greenhouse-gas baseline information. Interventions focused on rice in Guyana, yam and forage in Jamaica, and sweet pepper and maize in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Practices included alternate wetting and drying in rice, compost and organic amendments, mulching, minimum tillage, cover cropping and nutrient management. The Government of New Zealand supported the project through NZCSA-LAC as part of its contribution to the GRA, with administration through the Ag Emissions Centre and BSI as IICA's institutional counterpart. AGROSAVIA, PISLM, GRDB, CARDI and national agricultural authorities participated in technical activities. An ADOPT input and equipment handover after project closure was documented in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Expected results include healthier soils, climate resilience, lower emissions, sustainable-practice adoption, and capacity to measure emissions and inform public decisions. No quantified reduction in emissions is recorded as a proven project result.

Government of Guyana initiative to increase agricultural production and commercial development in Region One through stronger drainage and irrigation, delivery of machinery and agricultural inputs, expanded extension services, technical training, agro-processing and improved access to markets.

Project implemented in six regions of Guyana to improve the social and economic conditions of poor rural households, especially small-scale producers and vulnerable groups. READ expanded access to financial services and strengthened enterprise and market development, technical assistance, extension and training. The target group comprised 5,200 rural households, equivalent to about 20,800 people, with particular attention to woman-headed households, youth, Amerindian communities, non-traditional crop farmers and operators of rural micro and small enterprises. The Ministry of Agriculture was the executing agency and IFAD provided both loan and grant financing.

The Guyana Development Bank Act 2026 legally establishes the Guyana Development Bank as a public institution designed to expand access to financing for small and medium-sized enterprises and support their establishment, operation and expansion. The legislation was preceded by the Guyana Development Bank Bill 2026, Bill No. 5 of 2026, which was introduced in the National Assembly on June 5, 2026 and passed on July 27, 2026. President Irfaan Ali subsequently officially signed the Guyana Development Bank Act 2026 into law, enabling the next administrative and operational phase required to launch the institution nationwide. The Bank is authorized to provide loans to small and medium-sized enterprises with or without collateral and with or without charging interest, participate in co-financing arrangements and provide technical, advisory, training and business-mentoring services. Under the Government policy announced and financed through Budget 2026, a microcredit window of up to three million Guyana dollars per beneficiary at zero interest and without collateral is envisaged to improve access to capital for entrepreneurs and small businesses facing barriers in the conventional financial system. Groups and sectors identified as potential beneficiaries include small farmers, fisherfolk, agro-processors, small manufacturers, youth, women, persons with disabilities, entrepreneurs and hinterland communities. The institution has authorized capital of approximately forty billion Guyana dollars and forms part of the Government strategy to broaden financial inclusion, promote entrepreneurship, strengthen productive activity, support economic diversification and improve access to financing in sectors including agriculture and agro-processing.

The Government of Guyana, through the Ministry of Agriculture, announced an initiative to bring together hotel owners, local farmers and producer groups to establish direct supply chains for fresh produce to the hospitality industry. The measure aims to create new market opportunities for farmers, particularly young entrepreneurs participating in government-supported agricultural programmes, while reducing Guyana's reliance on imported vegetables. The initiative builds on progress made through the Agriculture Innovation and Entrepreneurship Programme (AIEP), under which young producers are growing high-value crops using shade houses and hydroponic systems and are already supplying part of the hospitality industry's demand.

An agricultural and community resilience project to address climate variability, droughts, floods, dry spells, and saline intrusion. It integrates climate-smart farming, infrastructure, community businesses, and extension services

The project was part of a well coordinated effort by donors active in Guyana, to assist the Government in mitigating the impact of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon which affected Guyana starting in 1997. The El Niño Emergency Assistance Project was prepared in response to identified emergency prevention and reconstruction needs. The objectives of the project were: (a) help to restore the country's agricultural capacity in drought-stricken areas through vulnerability reduction measures in the areas of hydrologic extremes; (b) help in providing safe and reliable potable water service to marginal urban and remote hinterland and riverine communities which have been affected by drought; and help restore flood protection in low-lying areas of the City of Georgetown.
