Abstract:

RESUMENSe ha completado el iinventarlo de los géneros y especies de palmeras que crecen en Guyana Francesa por un rápido estudio de su distribución tanto en Guyana como fuera de Guyana, y de su reparto por biótopos Y zonas de altitud. Se desviva de este estudio que los géneros mejor representados en Guyana son, respectivamente, Bactris, Geonoma y Astrocaryum que incluyen, fundamentalmente, las especies del sotobosque de la selva densa. Sibien ciertas especies presentan una amplia distribución en América del Sur, otras, que hasta la fecha se presumen endémicas, tanto de las Guyanas como de la propria Guyana Francesa constituyen el testimonio de la originalidad de esta région fitogeográfica y consolidan asi la hipótesis de un refugio forestal durante los periodos más secos del Cuaternario reciente. A pesar de la reducida altitud de los relieves de Guyana (850m) ciertas palma demuestran, finalmente, ser estrictamente dependientes de estas cimas y sevuelven a encontrar, por lo general, en los relieves de Venezuela y del Norte de los Andes.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The article, while critically examining the provenance of Guyana’s “underdevelopment”, scrutinizes effects of “Doctrine of Discovery”, and construes that “maraud” befittingly describes the purpose of European discovery voyages to Americas and the Caribbean: the “genocides”; “institutionalized-injustice”; “Human Zoos”; and “systematic atrocities” perpetuated by the European monarchies ravaged Americas, Caribbean, and African nations - inflicting irreversible devastation that persists to this day. The British, questing for Guyana’s resources, setup bare infrastructure and institutions to facilitate “looting” while keeping it “underdeveloped” and its population in “abject poverty”. They were, absolutely, not interested in developing Guyana. However, US & UK continue meddling in Guyanese affairs: bankrolling “Democracy Degeneration”; enabling “Kleptocracy” that has been draining Guyana for the last five decades; and, now, drooling over potential oil money. The article recommends that Guyana is ravenous for legitimate, antidotal, “constitutional reforms” guaranteeing a decentralised, pragmatic, governing model that is: participatory; transparent; accountable; responsive; equitable; and inclusive. To abrogate “Colonial Dehumanisation Effects”, Guyana needs to restore the indigenous peoples “Human Dignity”, “Identity” and “Rights”; rid Guyana of the antiquated, repressive colonial institutions; and reform the archaic education system. “Analog Generation” has to let go; 21st century belongs to “netizens-digital generation”, they must fully participate and play a decisive role in Guyana’s politics and development. Guyanese must use technology to “Reinvent Democracy” and ensure that; it is neither “hacked” nor “hijacked”, “Global Democracy” does not undermine “National Democracy”, and “Political Clientelism” is eradicated for good.

On December 18, 2020, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) handed down its decision on the jurisdiction of the Court in the case concerning the Arbitral Award of 3 October 1899 (Guyana v. Venezuela). By a 14–2 majority, the Court ruled that it has jurisdiction to decide certain elements of the application submitted unilaterally by Guyana against Venezuela, while it concluded unanimously that it lacks jurisdiction over other aspects of Guyana's application. Having established jurisdiction over certain elements of Guyana's application, the ICJ will now proceed to hear the merits of the claims.

Abstract:

Guyana’s colonial past has left a trail of economic instability, racial polarization, and physical and mental trauma. Despite the progress made since Guyana’s independence in 1966, the remnants of this colonial past continue to shape present-day Guyana. As a result, violence and trauma continue to impact the mental health of the population. This is manifest in endemic problems of domestic violence and racialized social divisions which have created the conditions for rates of suicide which are amongst the highest in the world. The formal mental health provision which exists in Guyana is based primarily on an individualized and largely biomedical model of care. Despite valuable attempts to develop this provision, the difficulty of physically accessing this for some people and the stigma which surround this means that the capacity of this system to address the serious problems which exist is limited. It is also the case that in times of emotional and psychic distress, and in the context of Guyana being a very religious country, many people turn to traditional supernatural healers and remedies for support. In this paper, we discuss what is known as “Obeah”, noting that while this is widely practiced, it remains something of a taboo subject in Guyana. We consider the reasons why these practices and beliefs continue to be influential. However, what neither these biomedical or supernatural perceptions of mental health are able to address is the sociogenic nature of Guyana’s mental health issues, which we argue emerges out of the historic trauma of Guyana’s experience of colonialism and the violence which it engendered. We argue that profound forms of mental distress which exist in Guyana call for an integrative and holistic practice model that contextualizes these problems through a sociogenic lens. Social workers, working collaboratively with other health-related professions, can occupy a critical role in integrating these different conceptions through developing a rights-based model of mental health where the causes of mental ill-health are understood as socially determined.

Abstract:

El artículo analiza las oportunidades para el desarrollo económico de Guyana a partir del auge de su industria petrolera. Para eso, fue realizada una revisión de la literatura sobre el desarrollo económico en países ricos en recursos naturales. En seguida, fue analizada la experiencia guyanesa desde el descubrimiento de recursos en el bloque Stabroek y los planes gubernamentales para impulsar la diversificación económica del país. Con base en lo anterior, son discutidos los desafíos que Guyana enfrenta para hacer una correcta utilización de esos recursos. Entre los resultados, el estudio muestra que, a pesar de que el aumento de la producción petrolera colocará a Guyana entre las naciones de mayor crecimiento económico en la próxima década, el país necesita superar importantes desafíos en materia de capacidad institucional, capital humano e infraestructura para garantizar la utilización eficaz de la riqueza derivada de la actividad petrolera en el impulso del desarrollo nacional.

AbstractWe document the first records for Guyana of Roraiman Antbird (Percnostola [Schistocichla] “leucostigma” saturata), an endemic of the tepui highlands of southeastern Venezuela, northern Brazil and western Guyana. This form is well differentiated from nominate leucostigma (Spot-winged Antbird) of the Guianan lowlands in morphology, vocalizations, and genetics, and replaces it both altitudinally and ecologically. The two taxa are distributed parapatrically on the continuously forested northeastern slopes of the eastern tepuis, and they almost certainly come into contact, yet there is no evidence of intermediacy. We recommend that saturata be treated as a distinct species of Percnostola, and consider its' origin in the light of various models of speciation in the tepuis.Especiación de Aves en el Pantepui: El Caso de Percnostola (Schistocichla) “leucostigma” saturataResumen. En este trabajo documentamos los primeros registros para Guyana de Percnostola (Schistocichla) “leucostigma” saturata, un hormiguero endémico de las montañas del sureste de Venezuela, norte de Brazil y oeste de Guyana. Esta forma se diferencia notablemente en morfología, vocalizaciones y genética de P. l. leucostigma, presente en las tierras bajas de las Guyanas, y la reemplaza altitudinal y ecológicamente. Los dos taxa tienen distribuciones parapátricas en los bosques continuos de las laderas noreste de los tepuis del este, y casi con seguridad están en contacto, aunque no hay señales de hibridización. Recomendamos que saturata sea tratada como una especie distinta de Percnostola, y discutimos su origen considerando varios modelos de especiación en los tepuis.

Abstract:

Background: A Guyana-based, internal medicine (IM) post-graduate medical education program was established in 2013. However, lack of formal teaching sessions are barriers to the program’s success.Objective: To describe the partnership between the University of Calgary and the University of Guyana’s internal medicine residency programs (IMRP). This partnership was created to support the Guyana’s IM academic half-day and is characterized by mutually beneficial, resident-led videoconference teaching sessions.Methods: Calgary medical residents volunteered to create and present weekly teaching presentations to Guyanese residents via videoconference. Questionnaires were completed by Guyanese residents and provided to Calgary residents as feedback on their teaching and presentation skills. A similar survey was completed by Calgary residents.Lessons learned: Twenty-four videoconference teaching sessions were conducted over eight months with a total of 191 and 16 surveys completed by Guyana and Calgary residents, respectively. Over 92% of both Guyana and Calgary residents agreed that the sessions enhanced their learning and over 93% reported increased interest in becoming more involved in international collaborations. 88% of Calgary residents felt the sessions improved their teaching skills.Conclusion: The formation of a resident-led, videoconference teaching series is a mutually beneficial partnership for Canadian and Guyanese medical residents and fosters international collaboration in medical education.

Abstract:

This thesis presents a case study of small state diplomacy. It investigates the international approaches of Guyana from 1966 to 1992, to the territorial controversy with Venezuela. The Anglo-Venezuelan dispute over the boundary with British Guiana was settled by arbitration in 1899, but was reopened in 1962. British Guiana gained its independence in May 1966, after an agreement was signed in Geneva, which designated the once settled dispute a "controversy". The foreign policy strategies deployed by Guyana demonstrate the extent to which a small state can effectively utilize diplomacy. The thesis challenges those interpretations which have viewed Guyana's foreign policy mainly in terms of a mechanism used by the government to secure legitimacy. Such arguments fail to consider the multifaceted characteristic of foreign policy and the threat to Guyana's territorial integrity from the more powerful Venezuela. It is contended that it would be more accurate to state that during periods of tensions with Venezuela, preservation of the Guyanese state was the principal goal of foreign policy. When relations improved, this goal was of continued importance, but other goals became prominent. The thesis analyses Guyanese-Venezuelan relations as Caracas pursued its claim. It evaluates Guyana's international response as its main defence strategy, given that state's military and economic weaknesses vis-a-vis Venezuela. It assesses the effectiveness of Burnham's vitriolic diplomacy 1966-1985 and the more subtle form during the Hoyte administration, 1985-1992. An examination of the foreign ministries' archives in London, Washington, Caracas and Port-of-Spain was conducted to gain insights into the interaction of the of the dispute's re-emergence and cold war concerns over Guyana. The measures taken by the USA, Britain, Brazil and Trinidad and Tobago to ensure that Venezuelan action did not affect Burnham's rule are revealed. Burnham's role in the signing of the 1966 Geneva Agreement is also explored.

Abstract:

Selon notre hypothèse principale, l'identité est plurielle. Ainsi, des études qui ne concerneraient que l'ethnicité ne prendraient pas en compte une réalité sociale complexe, dans laquelle la combinaison de facteurs identitaires sert de base à des actions politiques. La Guyana est un état postcolonial anglophone au sein duquel deux ethnies l'une afro-guyanienne et l'autre indo-guyanienne, se contestent réciproquement le pouvoir depuis la fin des années 50. L'analyse de l'évolution des idéologies qui animent cette société démontre que l'identité ethnique n'est pas la seule source d'inégalité dans les rapports de pouvoir. Classe sociale et genre restent, à cet égard, des facteurs essentiels. Les autres domaines choisis par ce travail de recherche pour analyser les relations intercommunautaires sont l'économie parallèle des années 70 et 80 ; le cricket (le sport national), le mouvement syndical. Leur étude montre que l'appartenance ethnique est présentée dans la plupart des travaux sur la Guyana comme un facteur déterminant. La réalité demeure cependant plus complexe, classe sociale et les rapports sociaux de sexe revêtant à plus d'un titre une importance. Le chapitre de conclusion replacera la Guyana dans un cadre comparatif international en proposant un lien entre, d'une part, les paradigmes dominants des études postcoloniales, et d'autre part, la résolution de certains conflits à l'échelle mondiale.

Abstract:

Les premiers essais agricoles dans les terres basses de la Guyane française commencent dès 1763 sur les côtes de Kourou. Ce fut le début d’une entreprise qui, sous la forme de dents de scie, va marquer l’économie de cette colonie française de l’Amérique du sud jusqu’à nos jours. Les terres noyées de la Guyane française, sont toutes localisées sur la bande côtière et correspondent à des zones humides (tourbières, mangroves, marais). Au début de la colonisation, en 1604 précisément, les Français se sont établis sur l’île de Cayenne, et ont occupés les terres hautes, situées plus à l’intérieur du continent. L’agriculture de ces terres a débuté à la même période, selon le modèle d’agriculture sur brûlis développé par les autochtones. Ce modèle traditionnel convenait à la production des denrées alimentaires pour des petits groupes. Néanmoins, au bout d’un siècle, leur rendement ne satisfaisait plus au commerce de la colonie. L’épuisement ou la faible productivité de ces terres hautes à la fin du XVIIIeme siècle, a ainsi occasionné une ruée ver les terres basses. Le développement de ces terres noyées avait déjà été entrepris par les Hollandais (Guyane hollandaise), mais ces zones humides rebutaient encore les Colons-Planteurs en Guyane française. Dès l’arrivée de V. Malouet (nouvel intendant de la colonie) vers 1778, les techniques d’assèchement et de construction de polders se développent en Guyane française sous la direction de l’ingénieur J. S. Guisan. Ce dernier essaya de faire des terres noyées, la réponse aux problèmes agricoles de la Guyane française. Mais, les différents évènements socio-politiques qui touchèrent la France à cette époque (Révolution française, abolition de l’esclavage, activités aurifères), mirent fin dès 1848 à cette entreprise. Certaines contraintes climatiques doivent également être considérées. Un siècle plus tard, vers 1950 avec le lancement du plan vert, les rizières de Mana témoignent encore de l’importance de la culture des terres basses en Guyane française
The first agricultural trials in the lowlands of French Guyana started in AD 1763 on Kourou coasts. It was the beginning of an initiative that will mark the economy of this French colony of South America until today. The flooded lands of French Guyana are all located on the coastal strip. This area is composed of wetlands (peatlands, mangrove and swamps). At the beginning of colonisation, in AD 1604 exactly, French people established themselves on the Cayenne Island and on the uplands (mainland). The cultivation of these uplands started at the same time, adopting the slash-and-burn agriculture developed by autochthonous people. More, this agricultural model was butter suited to foodstuffs production for small groups. However, early in the century, their performance no longer satisfied trade of the colony. Depletion or low production of these uplands at the end of the XVIIIth century, caused a rush to the lowlands. The development of these low lands has already been undertaken by the Dutch (Dutch Guyana), but these wetlands were still rejected by the Colon-planters in the French Guyana. As soon as V. Malouet arrived (new intendant of the colony) ca. AD 1778, the techniques of dewatering and polder construction developed in the French Guyana under the supervision of the engineer J. S. Guisan. He tried to manage the flooded lands as an answer to agricultural problems of the French Guyana. But, several socio-political events occurred in France at this period (the French Revolution, the abolition of slavery, the gold-bearing activity) put a stop to this process in AD 1848. Climate control should also be considered. One century later, around AD 1950, Mana rice fields still testify of the importance of cultivation of lowland of French Guyana, in particular thanks to the launch of the green plan.Keys words: French Guyana

Abstract:

The application of systematic conservation decision-making methodologies requires data on the spatial distribution of the elements of biodiversity. When a decision on where to put a protected area to conserve biodiversity must be made at a given time, the decision must be based on the best data available. But, adequate data are often lacking. This thesis examines the use of surrogate measures of biodiversity in conservation decision-making in Guyana, South America. The study looks at different surrogate measures and their influence on the selection of priority biodiversity sites for conservation. Surrogate measures at the ecosystem and species level are examined. The research shows that measures from different hierarchical levels produce different outcomes on the location of sites, however measures at the ecosystem-level appear to capture most of the known species distributions. The thesis examines cross-taxon congruency and shows that the spatial scale of analysis influences patterns of congruency for different taxonomic groups. The influence of spatial scale is also examined for various measures of biodiversity and it is shown that variability of species richness decreases with increased selection unit size. Finally, an index of vulnerability is used to prioritise conservation of sites in Guyana based on urgency, which is defined by two different threats: agriculture and forestry. This thesis adopts a conceptual framework based on data-driven, efficient, flexible and transparent methodologies and uses it to demonstrate how a network of protected areas might be established in Guyana that uses the most comprehensive data available on biodiversity. The thesis concludes by presenting a protocol for conservation decision-making that incorporates some of the theoretical principles identified by this work as important for measuring biodiversity and planning a protected area network.

Abstract:

Abstract The Liza Phase 1 development project, offshore Guyana, is an unique example of what the offshore oil and gas industry is capable of when working together to deliver a common objective. ExxonMobil and the Stabroek Block co-venturers, Hess Guyana Exploration Limited and CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Limited, commenced oil production from the Liza Destiny floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel in December of 2019, less than 5 years from the initial discovery of hydrocarbons in the Staebroek block. With the production and export of its first barrels of oil, the project completed the establishment of a nascent oil and gas industry in Guyana that is poised for tremendous growth in the coming years. The Liza Phase 1 development consists of a 120 kbd conversion FPSO (The Liza Destiny) and a network of subsea infrastructure to produce from and inject in two drill centers. It is expected to develop a resource of about 450 MBO gross estimated ultimate recovery. The water depth ranges from 1,690–1,860 m throughout the development which is located approximately 200 km offshore Guyana. This paper highlights the scope and pace of the project and discusses three specific challenges overcome: the uncertainty of the metocean conditions, extending the application of the selected riser technology, and executing in a challenging and frontier offshore location. A key to the success of the project was the unified approach between stakeholders and the commitment to act as One Team. The Liza Phase 1 project rapidly developed a newly discovered deep water resource in a frontier location while overcoming numerous challenges. By delivering Guyana's first ever oil production among industry leading cycle times, the Liza Phase 1 project has set the foundation for the future of deep water developments in Guyana.

Abstract:

Abstract Guyana's oil and gas production commenced in December 2019 with the Liza Destiny floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel for the first phase development of the Liza Field located in the south-eastern portion of Stabroek Block, offshore Guyana. Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited (EEPGL) achieved first oil on Liza Unity, the second FPSO in Guyana, in February 2022. A robust process of implementing lessons learned from Liza Destiny commissioning and start-up were adapted by the Liza Unity team. The Liza Unity FPSO is moored approximately 190 km offshore Guyana in 1600-1700 m of water depth. The FPSO is designed to develop the remaining portions of the Liza field, that were not targeted in first phase of development. The subsea system includes eight subsea manifolds (four production and four injection) tied back directly to the FPSO through ten flowlines, ten risers and two dynamic umbilicals to provide power, control and subsea chemicals. Personnel safety, process safety, and environmental performance were prioritized during start-up. Liza Unity achieved background flare within 60 days of start-up with operations continuing to bring new wells online and achieve the initial investment basis oil production capacity of 232 kbd in six months. This paper will present: The strategy and integrated approach to achieve first oil, ramp up to the initial investment basis oil production capacity, and production optimization, while maintaining focus on personnel safety, process safety and the environmentWell start-up strategy, reservoir data gathering, and reservoir management of a complex reservoir with wide range of fluid propertiesStart-up challenges and mitigationsFirst Water-Alternating-Gas (WAG) conversion in GuyanaReliability performance The overall journey from first oil to achieving the initial investment basis oil production capacity was carried out by the Liza Unity team within its first year of operations. This is a result of an integrated approach demonstrated by all the technical and operations disciplines. This paper will elaborate on the challenges tackled by Liza Unity while generating value for all the stakeholders and the people of Guyana.

Abstract:

Abstract The Liza Phase 1 development project features the Liza Destiny Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) vessel, moored 190 km offshore Guyana in 1,743 m (5,719 ft) of water, and four subsea drill centers supporting 17 wells. Not only was this a Greenfield development that required an integrated team to prepare for Operations; it was also located in a New Frontier that required development of logistics and marine infrastructure to support multi drillship and FPSO operations in challenging metocean and tidal conditions. In addition, early operations and production testing was further complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic and safety protocols put in place to keep the workforce safe. Three aspects of achieving First Oil are discussed, highlighting challenges and lessons learned: Managing subsea completions, well cleanup, and flow assurance while drilling was ongoing Enabling accurate data collection from Multi-Phase Flow Meters (MPFMs) and downhole pressure gauges, which was critical to developing foundational understanding of well performance for reservoir characterization and management Establishing an integrated asset team and workflows to ensure life cycle value capture by managing complex marine operations, commissioning, and surveillance while meeting stringent COVID-19 protocols Lessons learned from Destiny Operations will be incorporated into future projects, including a robust digital strategy centered on a fiber ring to shore, which will enable high-speed communications for future FPSOs, and an onshore integrated operations control center for improvement of long-term operations. Early understanding of reservoir connectivity and performance from data collection will continue to inform the reservoir management strategy so as to maximize asset value for the country of Guyana.

Abstract:

As part of an overarching effort to better identify the problems faced today by low-income people and by those with limited access to basic housing, this paper assesses the property rights system in Guyana and the way it affects the real estate/property/ land market and the overall security of the wealth base of individuals. The assessment is based on the methodology of Reality Check Analysis (RCA). RCA allows for a breakdown and mapping of the variables that have contributed to the current bottlenecks in Guyana and as well as poverty, malaise, and lack of affordable housing. With RCA it is possible to identify the correct questions that lead to the appropriate answers regarding policy recommendations.

Abstract:

The agricultural sector plays a crucial role in Guyanas economic development by contributing 21.15% of gross domestic product (GDP). However, the share of the agricultural sector has been gradually decreasing over the years. This monograph offers an update of the OCDEs Producer Support Estimate (PSE) methodology applied to Guyana for 2015-2019. The PSE approach focuses on two main elements of support: (i) the effect of government policy on prices received by agricultural producers, and (ii) the support provided through budgetary transfers to the sector. The market price support (MPS) remained Guyanas main PSE component. Expressed as a share of the total PSE, Guyanas MPS averaged 59% between 2015 and 2018. Following the end of Government transfers to GuySuCo in 2019, which led to a sharp decline in budget transfers to the agricultural sector, it rose to 96%. The main driver of Guyanas MPS remained the import duties in place to protect domestic producers of poultry meat. This report also documents the evolution of agricultural policies-related greenhouse gas emissions in Guyana for the first time. The poultry subsector, which receives most of the policy support in Guyana, emits little. Sugar and rice, on the other hand, are the commodities with the highest GHG emissions per hectare. To conclude, several policy recommendations are presented.

Abstract:

This Evaluation (RE-266) covers the period from 1989 to 2001. The IDB has played an important role in meeting Guyana's financial needs, especially since 1995. The instruments chosen were mainly project and sector loans, technical assistance and debt relief. Non-financial products were scarce as the need for financial support increased. The programming exercise has been closely coordinated with other multilateral organizations. The larger issue is whether the fulfillment of financial requirements has been accompanied by progress in Guyana's ability to regain the path to economic development. Hence, this report explores that issue in analyzing the implementation and effectiveness of the Bank's program.

Abstract:

For at least the past 10 years, the Government of Guyana has been implementing reforms aimed at improving public sector efficiency and effectiveness. In the past few years, special attention has been given to the introduction of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). This Technical Note analyzes Guyana's current M&E capabilities, as well as a proposed M&E Strategy and Action Plan. The analysis shows that the development of institutional M&E capacities has started but is not running on the Action Plan schedule. This may be explained by unrealistic implementation expectations. Moreover, the plan to increase the availability of performance information needs to be complemented with specific measures to institutionalize the use of such information in policymaking and to increase the availability of information to the public. This Technical Note includes a list of recommendations that, if followed, should help increase Guyana's chances of successfully implementing and sustaining M&E.
