Guyana Women’s Health and Life Experiences (GWHLES) 2018

The Guyana Women’s Health and Life Experiences survey was a collaborative project between the Government of Guyana, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

The impetus for this collaboration came from a decision of the CARICOM Council for Human and Social Development in 2014 to pilot a CARICOM model of national prevalence surveys on Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG). The Council further advised that the long-tested global model for population-based studies (pioneered by WHO) should be adapted for the Caribbean context. Hence, this survey forms part of the composite pilot for the national prevalence study on VAWG in the Caribbean. The survey was conducted by the Bureau of Statistics, the University of Guyana and the Global Women’s Institute of the George Washington University with direct technical support from the UN Women Multi-Country Office – Caribbean. This survey was based on an analysis of the quantitative survey data and incorporating the qualitative study results, examines the nature and prevalence of violence against women and girls in Guyana (particularly intimate-partner violence).

Demography, Vital & Social Statistics - Population & Housing Census

The Population and Housing Census is one of Guyana’s largest national exercises. In the Census, which is conducted every ten years, Enumerators (census-takers) visit every household in every part of the country to administer questionnaires that collect social and economic information and data on the population.

The Population and Housing Census is an extremely important national exercise and it is every citizen’s duty to cooperate according to the laws of Guyana, as the Census produces a huge body of information that is used in planning and development.
