This brief presents a concise overview of the finalized National Drainage and Irrigation Strategy (NDIS) 2030, outlining its strategic context, vision, priorities, and implementation focus. The strategy strengthens national decision‑making to support a more resilient, efficient, and sustainable drainage and irrigation (D&I) system in Guyana, capable of responding to escalating climate, social, and economic pressures. While the earlier strategy emphasized data development, system assessments, and institutional strengthening, the Capital Works Strategy prioritized targeted investments, improved operational performance, and enhanced infrastructure resilience. This evolution reflects a significant escalation in climate adaptation ambition, including upgraded design standards to address extreme rainfall and sea‑level rise. Collectively, these shifts demonstrate NDIA’s expanding mandate and underline the need for an updated, integrated strategy that consolidates governance, data systems, and infrastructure planning under a coherent long‑term framework.
