Guyana’s Minister of Natural Resources, Vickram Bharrat, is appointed to represent Guyana and the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region on the Board of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) for the 2026–2029 term. The appointment is confirmed on October 6.
According to multiple outlets, the decision was first announced on June 30, when Bharrat was named as the principal member of the EITI Implementing Country constituency. Kaieteur News and INews Guyana also note his role in representing the broader region, not only Guyana. Guyana Chronicle adds that Bharrat confirmed the appointment while in Brussels, Belgium, attending the 68th EITI Board meeting.
Across the reports, the common details are the appointing authority’s confirmation date, Bharrat’s ministerial position, the regional scope of his mandate, and the specific board term. The outlets provide largely consistent information with minor differences in emphasis and reporting context.
