    From Bill Slater, HIV/AIDS Technical Advisor, USAID/Guyana:

    “I wanted to… express the Mission’s excitement and thanks for the recently completed 3-day regional workshop on integrating gender into reproductive health and HIV/AIDS programming by IGWG. A job well done!”

    “...After speaking with several local counterparts both from MOH and NGO's in Guyana, I could tell… how much they benefited from the workshop and all expressed their desire to take this information back to their respective organizations... [T]his will assist the Mission in future programming efforts with partners.”
