Where we work
_
The APA works primarily with communities in Regions 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9 on various issues which affect them and by providing capacity building workshops on the Amerindian Act and other rights related areas which may have an impact on their lives such as the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS), REDD+ initiatives, among others.
Arising from the many communities with whom we work, was the establishment of APA units, which consists of no less that 10 persons per unit. Though, the total membership of each unit is usually higher than ten and can sometimes be a significant part of a community. Currently there are 66 such units throughout the regions in which we work. These units were created to be the direct link from the community to the central office and provided a medium whereby their rights could be protected.
APA units are mainly located in five of the ten administrative regions of Guyana. These regions are:
Region 1 Barima/Waini- Mabaruma, Matarkai and Moruca sub-regions
Region 2 Pomeroon/Supenaam- Pomeroon sub-region
Region 7 Cuyuni/Mazaruni- Upper and Middle Mazaruni; Upper Cuyuni
Region 8 Potaro/Siparuni- Pakaraimas and Potaro sub-regions
Region 9 Upper Takatu/Upper Essequibo - Central, South Central, Deep South and North Rupununi
