Suriname

The very first NCEA activity in Suriname was a review of an ESIA for the Tout Lui Faut Oil refinery in 1994, followed by a similar review of an ESIA for the Marowijne gold mining project.

More recently, ESIA and SEA workshops with a focus on oil and gas were organized for a broad audience. The NCEA worked with the National Environmental Authority to jointly develop ESIA sector guidelines for offshore oil and gas development (exploration and exploitation phases). This work is (financially) supported by WWF Netherlands and WWF Guianas.

Contacts were resumed towards the end of 2025, and will lead to a continuation of cooperation.
