AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

MV Barima Disaster Update: Recovery teams retrieved another body from the capsized, state-operated MV Barima as divers continue technical dives into the wreck; the death toll is now reported at 72, with the official manifest (116 passengers, 17 crew) clashing with claims that up to 179 were onboard, while 76 have been rescued. Accountability & Investigation: Police CID has detained the captain and the Transport and Harbours loading superintendent as investigators focus on who authorized unrecorded passengers and undocumented cargo; opposition MPs are pushing for an urgent, fully independent commission of inquiry and warn against scapegoating while senior failures remain unexamined. Wildlife Tech in Guyana: A rainforest camera trap set for otters unexpectedly captured a rare jaguar sighting, highlighting how remote monitoring is helping document elusive species. Health Tech & Policy: Guyana is advancing a National Pharmacovigilance Centre to strengthen oversight of medicines, vaccines, and medical devices, with support from PAHO/WHO and plans to use VigiFlow for adverse reaction reporting. Neuro Health Research: A PAHO/WHO-backed study estimates nearly 470 million people in the Americas live with at least one neurological disorder, with Guyana among the highest-burden countries—raising pressure for long-term care and rehabilitation access. Regional Digital Skills: CARICOM’s Digitalisation of TVET Delivery project says it boosted regional capacity for digital training delivery through country-owned pilots. Trade & Tariffs: The US announced new forced-labour-related tariffs affecting Guyana (12.5%), adding pressure to compliance and supply-chain controls.
