UN Guyana Annual Results Report 2020

In a year supposed to be full of promise, hundreds of thousands of men, women, girls and boys in Guyana suddenly found themselves facing great uncertainty with respect to their health, education, and livelihoods. In response, the UN Country Team rapidly shifted its assistance to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, starting with the health emergency response to save and protect lives. The assistance quickly expanded to education as schools closed, and to social protection, social assistance, and livelihood support.
