Guyana secures representation on the International Board of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) for the 2026–2029 term, according to multiple outlets. The Ministry of Natural Resources says the Government of Guyana will be represented by Vickram Bharrat, MP, Minister of Natural Resources, who has been nominated as a Principal Member of the Implementing Country Constituency on the board. This role positions him to participate in the International Board’s work over the next three years, with the reporting also indicating he acts as Guyana’s official representative in that capacity.
One outlet frames the win as Guyana representing the broader Caribbean and Latin American region on the board, while another describes the nomination as historic. A separate commentary from Dr Prem Misir, an adviser on EITI affairs, links the election to Guyana’s expanding role in advancing transparency and accountability in the management of extractive-sector resources. Across sources, the central points are Guyana’s election to the EITI board and Minister Bharrat’s appointment as principal representative for the three-year term.
