Baseline Report of the Situation of Indigenous Peoples in Suriname, 2020

This is the first time that the Association of Indigenous Village Leaders in Suriname (VIDS) has captured general basic information on the situation of Indigenous peoples in Suriname.

With this initiative, Suriname is among the first 11 countries to present a baseline study of this nature and size, so as to make future monitoring of the implementation of the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples possible.

The report was developed in the Indigenous Navigator partnership, with support from the European Commission.
