Evidence snapshot for Suriname
Suriname has made measurable progress on digital identity and political representation: over 320,000 citizens held a valid e-ID by April 2022 following a three-year transition deadline, and women's share of National Assembly seats rose from roughly 10% in 2010 to 31.37% by 2024–2025 without legislated quotas. The country operates a national REDD+ programme that generated approximately 10 million tonnes of CO2-equivalent in validated results for 2018–2020, with a pending Green Climate Fund payment of roughly US$80 million still awaiting disbursement as of early 2025. However, the practices note persistent gaps: remote interior communities still lack access to e-ID services, women's political gains are unlegislated and thus more reversible than quota-based systems, and governance concerns remain around benefit-sharing and indigenous participation in the REDD+ programme.
