Communication for Sustainable Forest Livelihoods for Communities In Guyana and Suriname

This comms strategy (CS) considers the communication needs, interests, and requirements of the communities in the regions of both countries, along with governmental, nongovernmental, private sector and other stakeholders who will support the project’s success.

The primary purpose of this CS is to raise awareness and appreciation for the SFL project, to communicate its main results and impacts, and to build a network of support among practitioners and influencers, such as the media, for successful implementation over the project’s lifespan.

It will establish project visibility by identifying targeted messages and appropriate high-quality project communications materials and awareness products. This strategy will guide communication actions under the SFL project in Guyana and Suriname. Since the project comprises an inception and implementation phase, the CS’s objectives provide unique communications outcomes while maintaining strategic alignment throughout the plan.
