ABSTRACT
The development objective of Competitiveness and Sector Diversification Project is to facilitate private investment and strengthen value chains in targeted industries in Suriname. Some of the negative impacts include: (i) groundwater pollution; (ii) destruction of flora and fauna habitat; (iii) soil and land degradation: (iv) excessive agrochemical use; (v) air pollution; (vi) noise pollution; (vii) operational health and safety issues for workers; and (viii) degradation of heritage sites; (ix) loss of biodiversity. Some of the mitigation measures include: (i) install impermeable lining on or below soil; (iii) land contouring and slope stabilization; (iv) use only when necessary and switch to IPM; (v) use low-emission equipment; (vi) use low-noise equipment; (vii) OHS training; (viii) relocate activity to avoid such sensitive site; and (ix) compensate local loss by gain at other location.
