The Mekong River Commission has opened registration for the 13th MRC Regional Stakeholder Forum, a platform for interested parties to hear updates about hydropower and other developments along Southeast Asia’s largest river, which affects tens of millions of people.

The Mekong River Commission (MRC) is planning to organize its 12th Regional Stakeholder Forum (RSF) on 29 June 2022 in Bangkok, Thailand, as a hybrid event. The one-day RSF will be open to any interested stakeholders who wish to keep abreast of the latest development within the context of the MRC’s work and cooperation.

The Mekong River Commission will convene its 11th Regional Stakeholder Forum on 29–30 November 2021 to discuss responsible hydropower operation and management, and to provide the latest information and solicit public feedback on the proposed Sanakham hydropower project.

The PNPCA process provides stakeholders with available data and information of proposed project. The process is designed for the notified countries to make recommendations and for the proposing country to accept certain measures to avoid, minimise and mitigate any potential adverse transboundary impacts and find a better way to share benefits.
