Small-Medium-Large (SML): Water Stewardship in the Greater Mekong Region
Page Content
The
project aims to reduce pollution and improve water and energy management of
small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Greater Mekong Region that are
active in the production of clothing (Vietnam) and food & beverages
(Myanmar). It
will help SMEs who share common water resources to address shared water risks
through more informed production and investment decisions. It
will also support their
resource management strategies to gain operational efficiency and minimize
external resource dependency. This
will involve bringing the business community closer to public sector decision-makers
at both the regional and national levels to allow sound water management and links
between water and other emerging challenges to be governed through a
transboundary perspective. | | Vietnam is
