iChange Nations is a global organization committed to recognizing and honoring individuals who have made a profound impact on humanity. Founded by Sir Dr. Clyde Rivers, the organization’s Culture of Honor System seeks to bring back the lost art of honor by acknowledging extraordinary humanitarian efforts worldwide.
The Sydney Allicock Global Humanitarian Award was established by Dr. Rivers in honor of H. E. Sydney Allicock, Minister of Indigenous People. H. E. Allicock is clearly recognized as one of the most respected and dedicated leaders in Guyana. He was minister of Indigenous People’s Affairs in Guyana from 2015-2020, and was vice-president of Guyana from 2015-2020.
An outstanding attribute of former V. P. Allicock is his absolute willingness to share his knowledge at all levels always with great humility, and also his wonderful sense of humor which he is well known for.
Sydney articulates and promotes a vision of indigenous rural community development based on communal effort, wise use of natural resources, traditional knowledge and social systems, and equitable partnership with outside agencies. He has been a key figure in the development over the past two decades of the village of Surama, the North Rupununi region more widely, and Guyana’s indigenous communities, which account for nearly a tenth of the country’s population. More recently, he has served as a member of the Multi-Stakeholder Committee of Guyana’s Low Carbon Development Strategy, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at saving Guyana’s standing forests while receiving international payments, generating income to develop the country and transform its village economies.
