UK Development Assistance
Guyana receives substantial development assistance from the United Kingdom delivered through the Department for International Development (DFID). Guyana is the largest UK aid recipient in the Commonwealth Caribbean. DFID's current programme has a strong public sector reform theme, pursued across several areas which feature strongly in the Government of Guyana's Poverty Reduction Strategy. The focus has been on water and education, although this is now shifting towards security sector reform. DFID is also supporting efforts to promote political stability working with government, civil society, other UK Departments and international partners.
