Evidence snapshot for Guyana
Guyana has implemented sustained gender-representation reforms and education-access programmes with measurable scale. Women hold roughly 35–37% of National Assembly seats under a one-third candidate quota in place for two decades, and the government-funded GOAL scholarship programme awarded 54,627 scholarships between 2021 and 2026, with women receiving 72% of awards. Guyana's Low Carbon Development Strategy monetises its 18M-hectare tropical forest, generating US$187.5M in carbon revenue (2016–2021) with 15% flowing to 240+ Amerindian communities. However, the evidence quantifies outputs and reach rather than longer-term learning or economic outcomes; the GOAL programme also experienced due-diligence failures that required recovery of US$1.5M.
