Prosperity: Inclusive economic growth, by improving the private sector business climate, promoting entrepreneurship, and advancing opportunities in job-rich sectors like agriculture and tourism. It reduces dependence on mining and oil, creating new opportunities for local innovators and SMEs.
Infrastructure: Enhancing Economic Competitiveness, by strengthening climate resilience, improving water resource management, and enhancing disaster preparedness. Key projects include initiatives to boost flood-protection infrastructure and support integrated water governance, particularly in vulnerable interior regions.
These efforts align with Suriname’s development priorities and the World Bank Group’s work to reduce environmental risks, safeguard livelihoods, and promote access to services. Through targeted investments and technical assistance, the Bank Group helps Suriname build capacity and climate-resilient infrastructure for long-term resilience and inclusive growth.
