Building an Inter-regional platform based on the “Mekong Dialogues”

Outline

This project examines the challenges involved in transforming the "Mekong Dialogue"—a platform holding an international conference that brings together researchers and NGOs in and beyond the Mekong region to foster transboundary partnerships for sustainable development—into an interregional platform for the exchange of knowledge and experiences with other regions. In addition, public workshops will be held to share the specialized and experiential knowledge gained through this process with concerned persons including researchers, policymakers, businesses, and broader citizens.
