The Country Strategy Paper outlines the assistance strategy of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) for the Cooperative Republic of Guyana over the period 2017-2021.  It sets out the strategic direction for CDB’s engagement and defines the parameters of its support.  In developing the Country Strategy, CDB held intensive and extensive discussions with key government officials, as well as other stakeholders and development partners.  The proposed Country Strategy responds to Guyana’s development priorities and it seeks to maximise CDB’s comparative advantage and optimise development effectiveness and impact through selective and focussed support.
