Support to State Asset Surveillance Management System

implementation

The objective of this Technical Cooperation (TC) is to support the coordination of digital solutions for geospatial data analysis and the protection of state assets at the national level in Suriname. By conducting diagnostic evaluations of organisational capacities for the surveillance of the country's territorial domain and supporting redress of knowledge gaps in the use of the state's geospatial information registry, this TC will provide key recommendations to combat illicit use of natural resources through institutional strengthening and the improvement of multi-institutional coordination mechanisms.Through collaboration between the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) and the Islamic Development Bank Institute, this TC will support the Government of Suriname in the design and use of innovative tools for geospatial analysis towards improving the monitoring, interpretation, and timely dissemination of earth observation data for effective environmental policing. More broadly, the TC will see Suriname contributing in an effort to improve the knowledge base on environmental monitoring in the Amazon region, situated at the nexus of key regional issues such as climate change, digital transformation and the fight against transnational crime.
