Georgetown: Tarmacs in several Neigbourhood Democratic Councils (NDC) and markets in six municipalities across Guyana will benefit from a US$1.5M upgrade.
The project amounts in total to US$1.9M. The over US$400,000 is expected to be provided in kind. This was made possible by donors that include India, Brazil and South Africa Trust Fund.
The money forms part of government’s efforts to curb roadside and illegal vending which contributes to the built up garbage around these illegal sites.
This upgrade is set to commence on April 01, 2014 and the project is set to run run for one year. The municipal markets and other market tarmacs will see upgrades in their washroom facilities, there will be the procurement of two compactor trucks and two mini- excavators to compliment ongoing solid waste removal from places of vending along with the raising of public awareness.
