–for persons who missed earlier distribution exercises
PERSONS who were unable to collect their $100,000 cash grant during the earlier distributions in their villages were urged to visit their respective Neighbourhood Democratic Councils (NDCs) to uplift their cash grants.
According to an advisory from the Government of Guyana, where the beneficiaries reside in regions without NDCs, the grant will be available at the Regional Democratic Councils (RDCs).
Meanwhile for residents in Georgetown, the cash grants will be available at the National Gymnasium.
These locations are open to the public from 9:00 hrs to 16:00 hrs on Monday to Friday, excluding holidays.
Citizens were reminded to walk with a valid ID card or Passport to uplift their grant.
“It is important to note that authorisation will not be accepted but arrangements may be made with the NDC or RDC for the cash grant to be delivered to the homes of beneficiaries who are senior citizens, living with a disability, housebound or hospitalised,” the advisory further explained.
The ongoing cash-grant distribution initiative has seen nearly half-a-million cheques being issued to beneficiaries across the country, injecting billions of dollars into the economy.
The initiative, which forms part of the government’s broader economic relief and social welfare programmes, is aimed at providing financial support to households, thereby stimulating spending, and bolstering economic activity nationwide.
The distribution has been particularly crucial in assisting families with essential needs, and ensuring a continuous flow of cash in local economies.
