Project Management Office (Guyana)

PMO
Last updated: 7 October, 2011

Reporting directly to the President, the Project Management Office (PMO) was launched in the third quarter of 2009, and serves to attract high-caliber, experienced managers into project management positions to drive the most critical elements of the Low-Carbon Development Strategy. Its focus is on coordinating public and private agencies to accelerate the implementation of a limited number of critical projects, including hydropower and priority adaptation measures, and working alongside the Guyana Office for Investment (GO-Invest), to attract sector-leading investments in low-carbon economic sectors.

In 2010, it focused on hydropower, telecommunications (in particular, fibre optic infrastructure), the One Laptop per Family initiative, and at-scale integrated export-oriented agricultural development, working alongside the Guyana Office for Investment (Go-Invest) to attract sector-leading investments in low carbon economic sectors.

It also supports the development of alternative livelihoods within forest communities, working closely with the REDD Secretariat and the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs.
