The document explains that the Workshop is one contribution towards integration of support organizations and public and private sectors. The Workshop has helped to not only collect a large amount of information and organize it into one document, but it has brought together a large number of sector specialists to analyze the information, reach conclusions and make recommendations as to possible solutions. While the Proceedings from this Workshop will become a valuable reference document, it is anticipated that it will soon be followed by an Agricultural Sector Policy Document and a number of rural sector development projects, which will not only be sustainable but will have a significant impact on reducing the level of poverty in Guyana.
