The MRC is an intergovernmental organisation for regional dialogue and cooperation in the Lower Mekong River Basin, established in 1995 based on the Mekong Agreement between Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand and Viet Nam. The organisation serves as a regional platform for water diplomacy and a knowledge hub of water resources management for the sustainable development of the region.
The MRC supports a basin-wide planning process based on principles of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). We provide a wide array of technical assistance, strategic advice, and innovative knowledge and solutions to help the lower Mekong countries promote fisheries’ sustainability, opportunities for agriculture, freedom of navigation, sustainable hydropower, flood and drought management and preservation of important ecosystems.
