To ensure the sustainability of the results of the project “Leveraging natural capital in Rupununi”, CI (Guyana) contracted short-term technical assistance to support and facilitate its team in developing a sustainability plan and to support the definition and prioritisation of activities and the correct and efficient use of resources in the final phase of the project. The consultancy included a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the project data and a series of working sessions were carried out with CI Guyana and the other local stakeholders involved in the project (communities, women’s and workers’ associations, public sector) to develop and prioritise a plan of activities, establish a budget and generate a results-oriented framework designed to achieve key objectives and build a platform for the sustainability of the project investment to date. Work was done on activities related to i) sustainable tourism; ii) climate-smart agriculture; and iii) the Rupununi Innovation Revolving Fund (RIF), and the mechanism was defined for the continued operation of the fund and business activity in the beneficiary communities beyond the period of IDB/MIF financing.
