United Nations Guyana The United Nations is an international organisation founded in 1945 after the Second World War. It is made up of 193 Member States. Guyana joined the UN in 1966.

In Guyana, the United Nations System works with a range of partners to deliver the UN Caribbean Multi-Country Sustainable Development Framework (MSDCF) 2022-2026. The work of UN Agencies, Funds, and Programmes active in Guyana (the UN Country Team) is guided by four pillars:
1. Economic resilience and shared prosperity;
2. Equality, well-being, and leaving no one behind;
3. Resilience to climat

e change and shocks, and sustainable natural resource management; and
4. Peace, safety, justice, and rule of law. Across the four pillars, the UN works with national institutions and stakeholders to leave no one behind and promote gender equality. The UN Country Team works together to ensure the delivery of tangible results in support of Guyana’s development agenda. Guyana published its Voluntary National Review of progress against the SDGs in 2019. The country has an SDG Global rank of 104 out of 156.

Rising pressures call for stronger coordination. Not fragmentation.

🌎 From climate change to conflict, to the cost of living — the challenges facing people and communities today don't respect borders. They can't be solved in silos.

Across more than 160 countries and territories, the UN is working to show up as one: aligned behind national priorities, and focused on results that actually reach people.

The 2026 UNSDG Chair Report takes stock of what that coordination is making possible, and what's at stake if we lose it.
