| watershed financial planning in the Lower Mekong |
Land management and resource use practices in the
watersheds of the Mekong Basin exert an enormous
influence on the status of the Mekong River and its
associated goods and services, as well as on local,
national and even regional human wellbeing and
economic growth prospects. A growing number of
watershed-level initiatives are responding to these
development and conservation threats and challenges, as
different stakeholders work together across sectors,
agencies and interest groups to collaboratively plan for
sustainable watershed management.
We have been working with Gesellschaft für Internationale
Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the Mekong River Commission
(MRC) to identify environmental financing mechanisms
which can be used to fund locally-developed watershed
management solutions in the future, and to build capacity
and training opportunities for members of local Watershed
Management Committees in Cambodia, Lao PDR and Viet
Nam to learn more about how to develop financing plans
and access funding.
