As Guyana moves forward with the implementation of the Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA) with the European Union, there are opportunities to share Guyana’s progress to date, connect actors in Guyana with institutions in other VPA countries and to learn from each other’s experiences. Therefore, the main goal of this event will be to support forest sector stakeholders in Guyana on key issues related to the implementation of the VPA by bringing together national and international stakeholders to learn from each other, share lessons and build networks for collaboration.
The event is co-organised and co-supported by the Guyana Forestry Commission, World Resources Institute (WRI), the European Forest Institute Technical Assistance Project (EFITAP), the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland acting through the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations-European Union (FAO-EU) FLEGT Programme.
