Using a case study of one of Guyana’s Amerindian Women’s Groups—the Tapakuma Women’s Development Group—this paper describes an intervention strategy by an international funding agency designed to improve the socio-economic conditions of these women through the effective use and management of land resources at their disposal. The situation of Amerindian women in Guyana and the Amerindian Land Title/Rights issue are also highlighted. The conclusion of the paper underscores the key areas for consideration when interventions become necessary, especially among indigenous women; e.g. gender and cultural differences in tasks and responsibilities and the importance of technical, managerial and leadership skills in project planning and implementation.
