Country Suriname
Start date 28/12/2020
End date 27/05/2023
Status Ongoing
Budget USD 496 467
Objective / Goal This proposal seeks to improve the capacity of the Ministry of Agriculture and partners, through enhancing systems, networks, skills and expertise in data assimilation and analysis for climate change in the agriculture sector and contribute to building the enabling environment to support the planning, programming and implementation of GCF-funded activities. The project will also build the capacity and provide the baseline data to allow Suriname to submit a project concept note to the GCF.

The proposal will assist the Government of Suriname in implementing its climate strategy as articulated in its policy framework which include its enhanced NDC 2020-2030, the Policy Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2021, National Climate Change Policy, Strategy and Action Plan for Suriname (NCCPSAP) (2015-2021), National Adaptation Plan (2019) and National Master Plan for Agricultural Development (2016). Critical to the implementation to these strategies and plans for climate change is a robust system for the collection, assimilation and translation of data (agriculture and climate data) into formats that can be used to implement actions.
