A joint mission between the institutions responsible for water resources management in Guyana and Suriname was held in the Maroni River Basin, in the Grand Santi and Stoelmanseiland area from January 29th to February 2nd, 2024.
This field campaign, organized in the framework of the BIO-PLATEAUX initiative, was an opportunity to strengthen links between technical institutions of each country in order to improve coordination and governance of the river basin, with concrete results on three axes:
-drinking water and sanitation,
-quality of aquatic environments,
-articulation with local authorities and populations.
