Evidence snapshot for Guyana
Guyana has advanced women's representation through a quarter-century gender candidate quota that raised women's National Assembly seats from 18.46% in 2001 to 37% after the 2025 election. The government has also expanded digital access to remote communities via 153 solar-powered ICT hubs and LEO satellite connectivity reaching 128,000+ residents, and launched a large-scale online scholarship programme awarding over 54,000 funded places by 2026 with 72% going to women. However, the scholarship programme exposed governance gaps when investigative reporting in 2025 revealed enrolment in unaccredited university partnerships, leading to US$1.5 million in fund recovery.
