The main thrust of this effort is to ensure that Bartica, as a new municipality, follow the green economy development paradigm. In this regard, data capture through various audits, building awareness, and completing demonstration/pilot type activities are critical. In this regard, the assistance being sought under the Cooperation on Climate Change Vulnerability, Adaptation and Mitigation, is intended to largely complete the audits, build the awareness and commence the demonstration type projects. However, it is not the expectation that this project will finance in its entirety the works envisaged under this effort. Additional source of funding are likely to come from the USAID funded project for the Eastern and Southern Caribbean named Caribbean Climate Change Adaptation and Risk Reduction Initiative (CCCARRI) project and under the Guyana/Norway Cooperation Programme. These will be essential in the short term, but in the longer term, the country will be seeking to access funds from the Green Climate Fund and other international donors to pursue the efforts started under this project.
