The Pilot Innovation for Firms in Suriname (IFS) is a sub-component of the Suriname Business Climate and Innovation Program (SUBCIP), which is a 4-year economic competitiveness enhancement project of the Government of Suriname, financé par la BID. L'objectif de ce programme est d'augmenter la valeur ajoutée du secteur privé dans l'économie.
The specific objectives are: (je) to promote a productive policy for sustainable growth and diversification; (ii) to improve the business climate, legal, and institutional framework; (iii) to maintain and strengthen public-private sector dialogue; and (iv) to improve Competitiveness Unit of Suriname (CUS) capacity to support Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) productivity and innovation. The SUBCIP-I is structured as a programmatic policy-based loan and a Reimbursable Technical Cooperation (RTC). The RTC instrument is designed to support the implementation of reforms, the modernization of institutions, and strengthen SMEs capacity for innovation and linkages with value chains.
The main objective of the IFS program is to support innovation in local firms in Suriname –particularly Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) – by strengthening their integration into clusters and value chains and their linkages with firms and buyers and among themselves. It is expected that this will contribute to sales growth, increases in jobs, and greater connections between local firms and the global value chains in which they participate, and in doing so, will improve local firms’ productivity, competitiveness and capacity for innovation.
