Welcome to the Mekong Water Governance resource hub that pulls together relevant documents on key themes around water governance in the Mekong Region. We hope you find this resource useful, and we would be pleased to receive feedback on its content and structure.

This resource hub was established in preparation for regional educational outreach in the diverse field of water governance. It seeks to serve this purpose by making key materials more accessible and also by helping to distil key messages and points of debate so that information overload does not overwhelm policy makers and other advocates for progressive policy reform.

The Mekong Water Governance online resource hub was developed in 2018 by a team at the Regional Centre for Social Science and Sustainable Development, Chiang Mai University (RCSD), in preparation for a summer school to be run with the support of Oxfam’s Mekong Water Governance program. RCSD hosts the site and manages it on an ongoing basis.
