“Guyana is in a Capability Trap (a country that looks like it is developing on paper but lacks the actual ability to change, often repeating failed policies).”

"They’re doing cash grants...which are good things...but it’s [only] masking the reality...my salary isn’t enough to match the cost of living."

“Since we discovered oil, I feel like the environment has taken the hardest hit.”

"..How does oil production help mankind to survive in Guyana...when workers are forced to live pay check to pay check and in debt?"

"Guyana is experiencing rapid infrastructural development, but inflation remains a significant challenge."

“One step forward
and 2 steps back.”

"As with most cases where less economically developed countries find oil,
the bulk of the profits are benefiting ExxonMobil and the upper classes in Guyana."

This project is built on real voices, and yours matters.
In an earlier questionnaire, 100% of respondents said they didn’t feel they had a space to express their views on Guyana’s oil situation.
This is an attempt to change that.
Your response is completely anonymous, and will help shape and improve the platform
as it develops.
