De Economische Realiteit Van District Para, Anno 2011 Scriptie, 2010 - 2011 DE ECONOMISCHE REALITEIT VAN DISTRICT PARA, ANNO 2011 Door Raffaello Hendrickx Promotor: Mevr. Greet Vandenboer & Guillaume Nyst VOORWOORD Dit onderzoeksrapport kwam tot stand in het kader van de stedenband ontwikkelingssamenwerking tussen stad Leuven en district Para, Suriname. Wij, Raffaello Hendrickx en Guillaume Nyst, schreven dit werk als bijdrage aan deze samenwerking. Tevens is het de scriptie voor het behalen van onze respectievelijke diploma’s bachelor in Bedrijfsmanagement: Marketing, en bachelor-na-bachelor in Advanced Business Management: Marketing en communicatie. Het onderzoek dat we in dit rapport beschrijven is een proces. Gedurende dit proces kwamen we een heel aantal struikelblokken tegen die ons konden verhinderen om dit eindresultaat te bereiken, maar dankzij de steun en begeleiding van enkele mensen en organisaties, waren we in staat het onderzoek tot een goed einde te brengen. Bij deze gelegenheid willen we hen hiervoor bedanken. Allereerst gaat onze dank uit naar mevrouw Greet Vandenboer, onze promotor vanuit de KHLeuven. Zowel inhoudelijk, praktisch als persoonlijk stond zij ons bij gedurende de volledige loop van het onderzoek. Ook willen we mevrouw Natasha Neus bedanken om vanuit de organisatie Para Force diezelfde begeleiding, alsook de logistieke ondersteuning te bieden in district Para zelf. Verder gaat onze dank uit naar de heer José Tummers. Hij was het die ons ook vanuit de KHLeuven de richtlijnen gaf voor het uitwerken van de onderzoeksmethodologie. Mevrouw Hilde Evers, KHLeuven, willen we bedanken voor de hulp die zij gaf bij het verwerken van de gegevens. Graag bedanken we ook alle aanwezigen op de presentatie van de eerste onderzoeksresultaten in het multifunctioneel centrum te Onverwacht, op woensdag 25 mei 2011. De positieve reacties die we hier ontvingen deden ons de waarde van het onderzoek inzien en dit gaf ons de moed en de nodige motivatie om dit rapport af te werken. Als laatste willen we graag de Katholieke Hogeschool Leuven, Para Force, en het bestuur van stad Leuven bedanken. De samenwerking tussen deze organisaties creëerde het initiatief en de mogelijkheid tot de stageplaatsen waarin we dit project konden verwezenlijken en hiermee de kans om zowel district Para op economisch vlak, als onszelf op persoonlijk vlak, te laten groeien.

S. HOOGMOED Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden. With 11 text-figures and six plates INTRODUCTION Since a few years the present author has been engaged in a study of the herpetofauna of Surinam, which resulted in a few publications (Hoogmoed 1967, 1969a, b). In early 1968, a grant was obtained from WOTRO (Nether• lands Foundation for the Advancement of Tropical Research, grant W956-2) which enabled me to undertake a seven months collecting trip in Surinam. From the start the purpose was to obtain specimens from several localities in the interior, as the coastal area was thought to be fairly well explored. Moreover, other important goals were to obtain information on the ecology and colours of the living animals and, in the case of the frogs and toads, to make sound records. As a well developed road system in Surinam only exists near the coast and between Paramaribo and the Brokopondo artificial lake, the localities in the interior have to be reached by boat or by air. Because of the short duration of my stay I had to make use of airtransportation to rapidly reach places in the interior, from there making short trips in the surroundings either on foot or by boat. Thus the assembling of a representative collection from various parts of the country could be attempted.

WATER RESOURCES ASSESSMENT OF SURINAME Suriname US Army Corps of Engineers Mobile District & Topographic Engineering Center DECEMBER 2001 Water Resources Assessment of Suriname Executive Summary The growing deterioration of the socio-economic conditions and the reduction of investment in social and basic infrastructure have resulted in decreasing quality of life for the general population in Latin America and the Caribbean. The precarious quality of health services, drinking water, basic sanitation and environmental pollution and control represent a significant part of the social deficit in the countries of the region. Latin American and the Caribbean present an enormous problem concerning drinking water supply and sanitation services. Suriname is rich in hydrologic resources. The abundance of water is considered ‘white gold’. Due to the lack of proper waste disposal throughout the country and mercury contamination in the surface water, the water is in danger of becoming unusable in areas.

  • Baseline Report of the Situation of Indigenous Peoples in Suriname 2020
    This is the first time that VIDS has captured general basic information on the situation of Indigenous peoples in Suriname. With this initiative, Suriname is among the first 11 countries to present a baseline study of this nature and size, so as to make future monitoring of the implementation of the UN BASELINE REPORT OF THE Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples possible. SITUATION OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN A publication of the Association of Indigenous SURINAME 2020 Village Leaders in Suriname – VIDS – December 2020 1 Baseline Report of the Situation of Indigenous Peoples in Suriname 2020 A publication of the Association of Indigenous Village Leaders in Suriname With support from Disclaimer: This publication has been produced with financial support from the European Union. The contents of this publication are solely the responsibility of VIDS and can in no way be considered as a reflection of the views of the European Union. 2020 ©VIDS Reproduction of information is permitted with explicit crediting of the source. 2 PREFACE All over the world, the human rights of Indigenous peoples are not taken entirely seriously. In spite of many human rights treaties, declarations, judgments, globally accepted development agendas, national development programs and so on, the situation of Indigenous peoples remains worrisome. There are different reasons for this, including the marginalized position of Indigenous peoples in the countries where they live. Policymakers "forget" the Indigenous peoples, who have been historically marginalized by (colonial and current) rulers. Even in (development) statistics, which should highlight disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, Indigenous Peoples are not included; on the contrary, they often disappear under the heading of “other”.
