From flood relief to food and nutrition security to income generation in Kwamalasamutu, Suriname

The devastating effects of severe weather patterns occasioned by climate change, frequently present opportunities for enhancing food and nutrition security in affected communities. Flooding in several hinterland communities in Suriname in 2008 presented such an opportunity. Kwamalasamutu one of the largest Amerindian communities in Southern Suriname close to the border with Brazil was severely affected.
