This content was captured in the GYEITI Newsletter (Issue No. 4, April–November 2024), documenting the collaboration between GYEITI and the Ministry of Natural Resources’ “Youth in Natural Resources” Apprentice Programme.
Through this initiative, young participants from diverse backgrounds were introduced to Guyana’s natural resource sector and the EITI process, gaining insight into how transparency, accountability, and responsible resource management shape national development
Highlights:
• Presentations by GYEITI staff introducing the EITI framework and Guyana’s implementation process
• A vibrant Q&A session where youth explored challenges, opportunities, and governance issues in the extractive sector
• Strong engagement and curiosity around how transparency data informs decision-making
Engagement Level: 10/10
The youth participants also made video contributions sharing their newfound knowledge about the extractive sector and how they hope to contribute.
These are presented here in their unfiltered form as expressed directly by the youth participants.
