During 1902 the Ninistry of Co-operatives continued to consolidate on the initiatives made during 1981.

There were close.r.relationships with those agencies whose activities were related to Co-operative Development; the for example, worked in close collaboration with the Ministries Ministry of Fisheries Co-operative and Agriculture, and Agencies like the Guyana �gricultural and Industrial Development Bank and the Guyana Co-operative J.Jortgage Finance Bank.

In the process some senior positions were deleted, otbe�s were upgraded while the nuclues of the Planning Unit was established.
For example, there were no Deputy Chief Co-operatives and Craft Production Officers in 1982, while the posts of Production/�arketing and Design Officers were included to enable the craft industry to become a viable entity, and to provide more avenues for self-employment.

It was not often clear which agency was respon• sible for the payment of certain expen�es to regional officers matters affecting on official business to Head Office, and also their appoint�ents, leave and transfers.

That uncertainty often led to protracted delays in settling issues.

/15 •• 15 4:2 Co·o�erativee end Community De�slopmant Department peyelopment Work The work of identifying and remedying deficiencies in certain co-operative societies, begun in 1981, was continued in 1982.
The Department was restructured to enable it to carry out effectively this task as well as the overall task of monitoring the development and regulati�n of Co-operative and Friendly Societies and Community Development groups within the ten (10) regions of Guyana.

The process of restructuring resultsd in changes in the technical staff structure.

That facilitated th� setting up of a planning unit, which, though not fully staffed by the end of the ye�r, had begun to work.
The Regionalisation of the Ministry made it necessary to establish and maintain close working relationship s with the Regional Admin­ istration so as to facilitate a co-ordinated approach in monitoring the work in·lhe Regions, resulting in the Mi�istry having measurable data on the development of cooperatives within sectors, and of the Co-operative Movement as a whoie.
Regional Programmes of Work The preparation of Work Programmes at the regional level, approved by the respective Regional Administrations and �hen submitted to Head Office for technical advice and collaboration was one of the means used to indicate areas of direct support which were needed by cooperatives also pro­ in the regions.

Those Work Programmes vided the basis for planning and for measuring what was actually achieved in the regions.
Relatiopships with Supporting Agencies The year 1982 saw the strengthening of relationships between the .

I Much more could h ave been done, however, were the conditions more favourable for greater collaborative efforts in respect of pro­ viding technical services to societies, and for a freer flow of infonnation between the Minist�y and the agencies concerned.
Monitoring of operations of societies by agencies which provided support left much to be desired and it is hoped that there will be improvements in the future • 17 REGUL.A'f OllY WORK This section of the Depart�ent continued to perform the functions related to the administration of the Co�perative and Friendly Societies' Act in order to ensure that the respective societies operated in conformity with set principles and policies.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION The year under review ushered in a greater degree of emphasis on the development of Agriculture Cooperatives throughout the country.

This orientation which essentially concurred with National objectives was · stimulated mainly by the intensification of the food Crop Production and Marketing Programme.
/36 ••• 36 The Ministry acquired the services of a Management Service Officer and an Economist in.an effort to boost its planning capacity, but the Cooperatives Department was nevertheless unable to give the quality and quantity of technical support demanded by the movement as a whole as e · result of the Ministry's ability to fill the vacant position of Financial Anelyst and Senior Management Services Officer.
The f act that vacancies for Cooperatives Development and Officers Cooperative Auditors existed in certain regions of the country and at Head Office'also affected the Department's capacity to properly fulfill its mission and objectives.

It is hoped that this situation will improve in 1963.

Inter Ministry Co-ordination of work activities as an approach towards solving cooperative problems was increased during the year under review.
That type of strategy bore satisfactory results but the need, however, existt:d for a qualitative improv.ement of same.

The Cooperative Department basica·lly concentrated on consolidating the position of the cooperative sector vis-a-vis the general economic situation of the country, and gains were made especially in the area of fishing.
