Page "Transport in Guyana" Paragraph 50

According to Guyana's National Development Strategy, it is anticipated that by the year 2010 an inter-connected road system would have been established in Guyana.

This network would have enabled easy access by road to the neighbouring countries of Brazil, Venezuela and Surinam ; reduced the costs of utilising the country's timber and natural resources, thus making them more competitive in international markets ; diversified agricultural development by making more easily available suitable areas in the hinterland, particularly in the Intermediate and Rupununi savannahs ; relieved the over-crowded coastland of a significant proportion of its population, thus improving the quality of life of the inhabitants of both the coastal and interior areas ; and made more feasible the equitable distribution of economic activity, not only in the agricultural but also in the manufacturing and small-industries sector.
