Building capacity in Suriname’s Directorate of Water for integrated water management
Central to Suriname's efforts is the Department of Integrated Water Management (IWM), operating under the Directorate of Water. Recognizing the need for capacity building within the department, the Ministry of Natural Resources sought support from international partners. World Waternet (WWN) and Rijkswaterstaat (RWS) from the Netherlands, started a collaboration and project named: Strengthening integrated Water management. The goal is to strengthen the Directorate of Water so it can take the lead in managing Suriname’s water resources in an integrated and sustainable way.
