To assist the Government of Guyana (GOG) in developing its agricultural sector, this AID-funded study provides qualitative and quantitative baseline data on the current status and needs of the country's agricultural research, education, and extension (REE) system. Data in the study were gathered by reviewing literature and interviewing key GOG and USAID/Guyana officials. The role of agriculture in the Guyanese economy, its impact on the REE system, and an outline of the agricultural sector's institutional organization are presented. A rather lengthy analysis of the REE system is also provided, detailing each of the sector's resource allocations, institutional structures, and current developments. Recommendations for improving the current REE system are outlined in the final chapter. The study's key findings reveal that: (1) there has been no systematic attempt to use the REE system to address the GOG's stated goal of self-sufficiency in food and fiber; (2) Guyana's REE system is highly fragmented, especially in the research and extension components; (3) there is a lack of trained personnel and sufficient funding; (4) the few well-qualified REE personnel are often spread too thinly
