Syracuse Humphrey Fellow Mavrick Boejoekoe discusses the challenges of indigenous people and Maroons in the scarcely populated district of river based villages. For a long period of time this district has been the provider of natural resources for the country, while lacking the stimulus for development from the central government. About the speaker: Mavrick Boejoekoe is a Syracuse Humphrey Fellow and most recently a District Commissioner responsible for the strategic leadership in a tribal river side community residing in the Sipaliwini district rainforest of Suriname. In 2016 he founded the Youth Education and Leadership Foundation where he works to empower the youth of these communities. During his Humphrey year he wishes to develop a better understanding of how governments in crisis implement reform programs and how poor rural communities benefit from these programs. Mavrick has a Master in Public Administration from Anton de Kom University of Suriname and an MBA from the Business School Nederland.
