Evidence snapshot for Suriname
Suriname's e-ID programme achieved rapid adoption through a three-year legal deadline, with over 320,000 citizens (more than half the population) holding valid digital IDs by April 2022, though remote interior communities remain underserved. Women's political representation has risen significantly without legislated quotas, from roughly 10% of National Assembly seats in 2010 to 31.4% by 2024–2025, supported by institutional policy frameworks. Suriname's national REDD+ programme validated approximately 10 million tonnes of CO2-equivalent forest carbon results for 2018–2020, positioning the country for a pending ~US$80 million Green Climate Fund payment, though governance and benefit-sharing gaps persist. Its new e-visa AI chatbot launched in April 2025 alongside government acknowledgment of missing AI governance policy and data-reuse risks.
