Water-Energy-Food Security and Mining in Suriname: A project overview

The document outlines a project by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) to apply a WEF security framework to the mining sector in Suriname. The initiative consists of four primary tasks: a literature review, the development of the WEFsat-Mining tool, the creation of hydrologic assessment guidance, and capacity building through regional workshops. To improve WEF security in Suriname's mining context, the report suggests enhancing monitoring and indicator systems, improving mine site procurement policies, and investing in renewable energy and transportation.

• The IISD project in Suriname is structured around four main tasks: a comprehensive literature review of WEF and mining, the development and status assessment of the WEFsat-Mining tool, the creation of Hydrologic Assessment Guidance for mining-related water monitoring, and capacity building via two regional workshops.
• To enhance WEF security within the context of mining in Suriname, the report recommends investing in renewable energy systems and transportation at both national and sub-national levels, improving procurement policies at mine sites, and upgrading hydrologic monitoring and indicator systems.
