In her report, Renata Burnette highlights the recent distribution of funds by the Ali-led administration to select member organizations of the International Decade for People of African Descent Assembly (IDPADA-G). However, this financial support is receiving criticism from various quarters, with some describing it as a pitiful handout that falls short of addressing the fundamental issues faced by the Afro-Guyanese community.
While the allocation of funds might have been intended to uplift and empower the community, critics argue that it fails to target the core challenges and long-standing disparities Afro-Guyanese individuals and organizations face. Many believe that a more comprehensive approach is needed to tackle issues such as economic empowerment, education, social equity, and representation, which are crucial for the advancement of the community.
