PDC Addresses Public Concerns About Independent Research Survey

Georgetown, Guyana - Project Development Consultancy (PDC) acknowledges the Government of Guyana's notice dated December 2, 2024, regarding our ongoing public opinion survey. We commend the government for bringing attention to ethical data collection practices and welcome this opportunity to provide clarity on our work.

PDC is a reputable, independent research firm with over a decade of experience conducting market and social research across the Caribbean and internationally. We have successfully conducted projects for a diverse range of clients, including international organisations and several multinational corporations. Our studies have generated data that informs global indices and shaped policies benefiting Guyana and the Caribbean region. Since our inception, PDC has provided part-time employment to over 700 Guyanese, demonstrating our commitment to positive local impact.

We respect the legal framework governing research activities and ensure compliance with all applicable regulations. Our experienced team fully adheres to ESOMAR & GDPR guidelines, ensuring voluntary participation and respondent confidentiality in all our surveys.

In response to the claim that PDC’s enumerators misrepresented the survey as government sanctioned, we have launched an internal investigation. Any mischaracterization of our independent research is unacceptable and contradicts our core values.

Furthermore, we are deeply concerned by reports of aggression against our team members following the recent public notice regarding our survey. Such conduct is unacceptable. We kindly ask the public to respectfully decline participation if they so choose, as our surveys are entirely voluntary.

PDC remains dedicated to conducting research with integrity and professionalism. We thank the Guyanese public for their continued support, which enables us to generate valuable insights. Through our PDC Gives Back initiative, we have distributed supermarket vouchers, prizes, and food hampers, and also supported civil society and religious organisations. Most recently, the Dr. Meshelle Brown Scholarship has enabled us to sponsor tuition for exceptional University of Guyana students.

For any questions, concerns, business inquiries or future partnerships, please contact us at [email protected].
