Episode Details

Guyana’s economy is surging at breakneck speed, fueled by energy, construction, and healthcare—creating a massive labor gap. To help manage this influx, IOM Director General Amy Pope visited to explore how migration can be harnessed for growth while protecting rights. She met with government officials and successful migrants, spotlighting the potential of returning Guyanese and Caribbean workers to fill critical roles. Migration, Pope emphasized, has always been part of Guyana’s identity—and when managed wisely, it benefits everyone. The IOM is also helping coordinate a regional CARICOM framework to tackle shared labor challenges, including climate impacts and shrinking workforces. With a long-standing partnership since 2009, the IOM is focused on creating practical, people-centered solutions that connect workers with jobs and strengthen communities.
