Evidence snapshot for Guyana
Guyana has implemented several large-scale public programmes with quantified outcomes. On gender representation, a constitutional gender candidate quota since 2000 has sustained women's share of National Assembly seats at 30–37% over two decades, reaching 37% (24 of 65 seats) after the 2025 election. On education and workforce development, the GOAL scholarship programme awarded over 54,000 free tertiary and vocational scholarships between 2021 and 2026, with women receiving roughly 72% of awards, though a 2025 scandal exposed due-diligence failures with an unaccredited university partner, leading to US$1.5 million in fund recovery. On road safety, the Safe Road Intelligence System deployed AI-assisted traffic camera enforcement, issuing over 51,000 e-tickets by May 2026, though road fatalities rose in 2025.
