Suriname LA&C legally formed in Suriname, February 2018 as WDF expands its reach
Since being named the new president at WDF, Dr. Mac Donald took it on himself to look toward the expansion of the foundation’s physical footprint. Since its work alongside the Untied Nations is now well-established, President Mac Donald recognized that much of the foundation’s actual work, beyond conferences, has been focused on adding merit to sustainable development goals in Latin America an the Caribbean region. That recognition, accompanied by the president’s close ties to CARICOM, OAS, and UN Member State leadership in those areas led to the legal creation of a more localized NGO in Paramaribo, Suriname. This center will provide yet another hub for WDF expansion of services to the region.
