ExxonMobil Guyana has made a contribution of more than GY$10M to the Civil Defence Commission in support of flood relief efforts across Guyana.

President of ExxonMobil Guyana, Alistair Routledge, handed over the cheque to Director General of the CDC Lt. Col. Kester Craig at their headquarters on Wednesday. “The magnitude of this flood and how it continues to affect so many people across Guyana is truly sad to see. We recognize that there are so many needs at this time, and we are pleased to support the efforts of the Civil Defence Commission in bringing much needed relief to those affected,” Routledge was quoted as saying in a press release.

ExxonMobil Guyana has supported training for the CDC’s Voluntary Emergency Response Team (VERT), which Lt. Col Craig indicated is instrumental to the agency’s response efforts. He also pointed to other areas of support over the years such as the CDC’s oil spill response capabilities and labelled the company a true partner.

ExxonMobil Guyana is proud to be part of a broader group of businesses that have come forward to help and we wish the CDC and the government every success in their efforts to provide relief.

EDITOR'S PICK

(CARICOM Secretariat, Georgetown, Guyana) – CARICOM Assistant Secretary-General (ASG), Ms. Alison Drayton, is buoyed by the keen interest Ministers of Health, Education and Security are showing in data.  Data, Ms. Drayton said, is a critical metric to help governments examine the causes of issues, formulate solutions, and monitor whether those solutions are being applied in a way that makes a difference.  Three months into her tenure at the CARICOM Secretariat, Ms. Drayton – who is the ASG for the Directorate of Human and Social Development (HSD) – sat down for an interview with Tusankine English-Francis of the CARICOM Secretariat’s Communications Unit and reflected on the successful hosting of three CARICOM Council Meetings held recently.  These are, the 43rd Meeting of the Council for Human and Social Development (Health) in Washington D.C, in September; the 24th Meeting of the Council for National Security and Law Enforcement (CONSLE) in October and the 44th Meeting of the Council for Human and Social Development (COHSOD) Education also in October.  While noting the opportune timing of her appointment which allowed her to engage with the Councils that provide strategic direction for the work of the HSD Directorate, Ms. Drayton lauded the “months and months of hard work” by the staff of the Directorate to organise the meetings.  Speaking about what stood out for her about the meetings she said:  “Historically the Region has not been putting a weight on data, but there has been a shift.”  Highlighting an example, she pointed to the agreement among CARICOM Ministers of Law Enforcement to collaborate and share information through a Crime Gun Intelligence Unit which will be an important mechanism to pursue that collaboration and information-sharing.  She also pointed to the interest of CARICOM Ministers of Education in learning more from Belize about its experience with transforming its curricula to address several challenges in the country’s education basic sector including teacher and student burnout from content overload across the basic education curriculum.  Please see below, the full interview with Ms. Alison Drayton. She updated on the COVID-19 and Monkey Pox situation in the Region, the contributions of the outgoing Director of PAHO, Dr. Carissa Etienne, to regional health development, and discussions among CARICOM Ministers of Education to make education fit for purpose.
