Mission, Vision and Goals

Local Content Suriname is an overarching platform for everything related to the promotion and implementation of local engagement and business opportunities within the upcoming economic boom in Suriname.

Mission

The mission of this socio-economic initiative is to strive for sustainable development for all layers of society. We are committed to creating a sustainable platform that promotes economic growth, employment, skill enhancement, and community development through the promotion and implementation of Local Content.

Vision

Our vision is to be the indispensable catalyst for the development of Local Content in Suriname, seamlessly aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Local Content Suriname aims to become the largest socio-economic project Suriname has ever seen, promoting economic diversification and contributing to a resilient, sustainable future for Suriname.

Goals

1

Inventory

Creating a comprehensive online index to inventory all locally available services and products in Suriname, providing a clear overview for consumers and producers.

2

Creating Awareness

Utilizing various media channels, events, seminars, and exhibitions to increase awareness and understanding of the economic spinoff of the oil and gas industry.

3

Business Opportunities

Establishing the platform as a marketplace where both consumers and producers can present and market their products and services.

4

Development Initiatives

Empowering individuals by organizing workshops, training sessions, and educational programs aimed at improving skills and knowledge within communities.

5

Local Content Academy

Setting up an academy to teach local content and develop prototypes of sustainable communities.

Promotion of social inclusivity and diversity

The overall goal of the LCDO is thus to promote social inclusivity and diversity.

The foundation aims to support micro-entrepreneurs by making them more visible, giving them access to a much broader audience. By presenting themselves on the world wide web, they can be found all over the world.

Additionally, the foundation will organize fairs and exhibitions focused on micro-enterprises and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).

Furthermore, the foundation offers support to:

  • educational programs and training,
  • local initiatives,
  • and local events.

The foundation is thus a central hub for various socio-economic projects.

Think Thank

As a think tank for the post-oil era, we aim to help shape a resilient and sustainable future.

Through collaboration, strategic partnerships, and an unwavering quest for the development of Local Content, we strive for a future where every citizen actively participates in and benefits from the development of their community.

Together, we want to strive for a positive impact that will also benefit future generations.
