Guyana — Flow Monitoring Surveys of Venezuelan nationals (August — September 2018)

IOM Guyana designed the first round of the DTM process through the implementation of interviews in two regions (Barima-Waini and Demerara-Mahaica). In Region 1, interviews were conducted with the help of the Toshaos and other community leaders. Among others, the findings show that Guyana is not a transit country but that the majority of persons entering Guyana intend to stay. 58 per cent of Venezuelan citizens entering Guyana were women and 52 per cent of persons entering were between 18 and 30 years old. Most people arriving in Region 4 were single while in Region 1, the majority was married or with family. In Region 1, 40 per cent of persons interviewed do not have formal education. In total, 20 per cent of those interviewed said their children do not have access to education.
