Village Councils Get Bigger Budgets | Guyana News

Village councils just got a massive boost—government funding limits are jumping from $5 million to $30 million, letting communities tackle bigger projects, create local jobs, and build their own capacity. Part of a $10 billion hinterland roads push, this change opens doors for more community-led initiatives with leftover funds. Plus, $3 billion is set aside this year for Amerindian housing, working directly with councils. Oversight committees will ensure fairness, with funding based on population and more talks to finalize details—all to make public money work for the people on the ground.
