Evidence snapshot for Guyana
Guyana has sustained women's representation in parliament at 35–37% of seats through a constitutional gender candidate quota since 2000, one of the highest shares in the Americas. The government has rapidly expanded access to tertiary education, awarding over 54,600 online scholarships between 2021 and 2026 (72% to women), though a 2025 scandal exposed quality-control gaps with an unaccredited partner that resulted in US$1.5M in fund recovery. Guyana's rainforest monetization strategy has generated US$187.5M in carbon revenue (2016–2021), with 15% directed to 240+ Amerindian communities funding 1,300+ village projects. STEMGuyana is piloting an AI tutor for grades 1–10, though a full impact study is not yet available.
