According to the U.S. State Department's 2023 TIP report, Guyana ranks as a Tier 1 country (85). The report states that while the government meets the minimum standards, it neither increased investigations and prosecutions nor formally approved the NAP. The government also did not adequately oversee recruitment agencies or adequately screen for trafficking victims in the interior of the country. TRAFF-PRACTICE data reveals that the government fails to enforce labor laws, thus suggesting that trafficking and forced labor remain signficant issues in Guyana (KMM-CODER COMMENT).
