Mekong River Basin | Water Governance | On-going
MK20 aims to deliver four major outcomes: (1) consensus over, support for, and coalescence around a local definition of Good Mekong Governance (GMG) amongst Mekong River decision-makers; (2) a negotiated vision of the institutional future that accounts for GMG and promotes equity in benefit sharing and an ecosystems approach to river management; (3) application of decision support tools that improve consideration of social and ecological concerns in the governance of the Mekong, with particular regard to hydropower and irrigation development; and (4) direct participation of women in river decisions.
These will be met via training, communications, engagement, and facilitated deliberations and informed by traditional and action research.
