Following a visit to Guyana in 1993 by Mr. Dick Perry, the Habitat for Humanity Area Director for Latin America and the Caribbean, Mr. and Mrs. Magill arrived in Guyana during the first quarter of 1994 to explore the possibilities of working along with community groups here to build low cost houses.

This preliminary visit was ~oncretised by their return to Guyana during the 3rd quarter to commence work in this regard.
By the end of the period under review, one regional and two local committees were established at the following locations:- (1) Enterprise, East Coast Demerara (2) Meadow Bank - Bagotstown, E.B.D.

(3) Linden Regional Committee Local Committee Local Committee.
Community groups were mobilised into these committees to, inter alia, formulate criteria for selection (most needy with ability to repay no-interest loans) establish the legal framework for their operations and disseminate relevant information to groups about the workings of HABITAT.

There was very high optimism that these groups will achieve their objectives thereby assisting the cause of the provision of housing to those most in need.

(d) PRIVATE INITIATIVES IN THE HOUSING SECTOR.


Private individuals and companies continued to show active interest in housing development.

Indeed, the Mekdeci Company, through an arrangement with the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry was able to provide in excess of forty houses at costs beginning from approximately $800,000.00.

Several other private companies pursued the acquisition of land for housing development during the period under review.

ADMINISTRATION (PERSONNEL AND REGISTRY) 4.3.1.


PERSONNEL The year 1994 commenced with the Central Housing and Planning Authority having sixty-seven (67) employees on its establishment and concluded with a total of sixty-two (62).

Even though the Authority recruited nine (9) employees during the year, there was a vast turn over of staff due mainly to resignations and dismissals.
By and large the division was able to complete most of its work even though coming onto the year-end the regularisation of the status of the Authority gained momentum thereby causing additional work in the division.

The Division therefore, for the new year would need additional staff if it is to effectively and efficiently carry out its mission.

Please see overleaf, the attrition rate for the year under review; those leaving the service as against those appointed.
