Roadmap framework | Updated 2 November 2026

We will use our Hearts to increase the Happiness of Guyanese and our Brains to develop A Prosperous Guyana!
A Prosperous Guyana brings evidence, practical solutions and capable people together so that communities, businesses, civil society and public institutions can turn national opportunity into better lives. This is a proposed civic roadmap. Delivery responsibilities and funding commitments require agreement by the relevant institutions.
How to use the roadmap
Choose a sector and region. Read the outcome, evidence and implementation pathway. Examine the assumptions, costs and dependencies. Use the plan to design a project, contribute expertise, propose an improvement or assess delivery. Every published plan should show its version, evidence date, review status and next review date.
What every sector plan must contain
- Outcome and beneficiaries: Define the improvement in household wellbeing, productivity, resilience or service quality. Identify beneficiaries by region and community, including accessibility and hinterland needs.
- Baseline: Record the indicator, value, unit, geography, observation period, source and limitations. Show ‘baseline pending verification’ where data remains incomplete.
- Options and feasibility: Compare maintenance or process improvement, a limited pilot and expansion. Document demand, technical capacity, legal requirements, land, utilities, procurement, safeguards and recurrent operating needs.
- Delivery plan: Define the first 90 days, months 4–12 and years 2–3 from an agreed start date. Name a proposed accountable institution and delivery partners, with acceptance status.
- Resources: Separate capital cost, annual operating cost, maintenance, training and contingency. State currency, price year, estimating method and funding status.
- Budget connection: Link the programme, agency, project identifier, fiscal year and source page. Record allocation, releases, expenditure and verified output separately. Reconcile supplementary changes and avoid double-counting cross-sector projects.
- People and competencies: Describe the skills, qualifications, experience, availability and conflicts to assess. Research Guyanese and CARICOM expertise first, then regional and international gaps.
- Measurement: Select two result indicators and two activity indicators. Specify formula, data owner, reporting frequency, baseline and proposed target with rationale.
- Dependencies and risks: Link enabling projects, sequence delivery and record mitigating actions, responsible roles and decision triggers.
- Evidence and review: Link dated primary sources, distinguish facts from interpretation, record reviewer decisions and publish material corrections.
Prioritising solutions
Score each dimension from 1 to 5 using an evidence-backed explanation: impact 30%, urgency 20%, feasibility 20%, risk management 10%, evidence strength 10% and strategic fit 10%. For risk management, 5 means low residual risk with credible safeguards. Weighted score = sum of weight × score ÷ 5, giving a score out of 100. Record confidence separately. A high score supports comparison; it does not establish funding approval.
Before advancement, check community acceptance, lawful implementation, a credible delivery team, affordable recurring costs and measurable benefits. Where evidence is weak, prioritise a validation study or limited pilot.
From proposal to usable solution
- Submitted: Receive the problem, proposed solution, sector, region, beneficiaries, evidence, estimated resources and contributor consent.
- Screened: Check relevance, duplicates, evidence quality, personal data, conflicts and potential harm.
- Under expert review: Assess feasibility, costs, public benefit, accessibility and safeguards. Request revisions where needed.
- Validated: Publish the reviewed reasoning and limits. State the scope of validation.
- Ready for pilot: Record a consenting owner, delivery team, baseline, budget, safeguards and evaluation plan.
- In delivery: Report milestones, expenditure and verified outcomes.
- Evaluated: Publish results and choose adaptation, expansion or closure, with reasons.
AI may help classify submissions, find duplicates, summarise evidence and draft options. A named human reviewer remains accountable for validation and publication. Source links, review decisions, changes and appeals should remain traceable. AI processing should use the minimum information required and respect contributor consent.
Finding competent people
Build role profiles before researching candidates. Shortlist through public professional evidence, Guyanese and CARICOM institutions, professional bodies and diaspora networks. Record each candidate’s relevant delivered work, credentials, location, availability verification and potential conflicts. Public evidence supports a research shortlist; appointment and public profile publication require the appropriate consent and selection process.
First 90 days after approval
| Period | Deliverable | Proposed lead | Acceptance evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Days 1–15 | Confirm sector coverage, editorial roles, security readiness, source register and reusable plan template. | Platform owner, sector editors and Techlify | Approved schema, tested recovery, review workflow and source inventory. |
| Days 16–30 | Complete baseline and budget mapping for education and skills, energy reliability, food systems and flood resilience. | Sector reviewers with data and finance specialists | Dated baselines, reconciled budget references and documented gaps. |
| Days 31–60 | Develop four pilot proposals with costs, consenting delivery partners, safeguards and evaluation design. | Proposed delivery partners and independent reviewers | Review decisions and pilot readiness records. |
| Days 61–90 | Open the reviewed solution pipeline and publish an initial delivery dashboard where data is verified. | Platform editor and Techlify | Submission-to-review test, accessible user journey, dashboard provenance and change history. |
These four initial priorities are editorial proposals chosen for their enabling effects across sectors. Final ordering requires sector-level baselines, cost comparisons and stakeholder validation.
Evidence used and evidence still required
The April 2020 founding vision sets the mission and the intention to produce SMART plans with professional expertise. The July 2020 discussion specifies sector and regional categorisation, public ideas, contributor roles, an audit trail and recoverable deletions. The National Trade Strategy 2020–2025 supplies historical analysis of diversification, coordination, certification and capacity. The 2018 IDB SME survival paper supplies historical evidence whose sample and period should be retained in any interpretation. The Budget 2025 and fiscal-measures summary are historical references. Additional historical and scanned sources remain under review.
The Ministry of Finance lists Budget 2026 and the 2026 Mid-Year Report. Those documents, detailed estimates, subsequent revisions and implementation records must be reconciled before publishing current sector spending or delivery claims. The World Bank’s October 2026 Guyana outlook identifies spending efficiency, diversification and social inclusion as current development challenges. Its June 2026 education results brief supports employer-aligned training and use of feedback and tracking data. These sources support the direction of this framework; each project still needs its own evidence and feasibility assessment.
- Ministry of Finance: budget speeches, including 2026
- Ministry of Finance: mid-year reports
- World Bank: Guyana Macro Poverty Outlook, October 2026
- World Bank: Guyana education and employment pathways, 30 June 2026
Review status: This framework sets the standard for developing the roadmap. Sector pathways are proposals for assessment. Detailed baselines, costed projects and delivery commitments will be added as evidence and partner agreements are verified.
