Hydropower and Economic Development

This is to be achieved through the sharing of information on six key topics:
• Dealing with Social Aspects
• Sustaining River Basin Ecosystems
• Comprehensive Options Assessment
• Hydropower and Economic Development
• Hydropower Development on Transboundary Rivers
• Hydropower and Climate Change
It is intended that these topics will be addressed in six respective training manuals supported by country-specific case studies developed by academics and researchers from MRC mem-ber states and China.
Each of the training manuals is being developed in three phases: the development of generic manuals of sufficient scope and depth, the adaptation of these generic manuals to align with Mekong basin states’ country-specific legal and institutional frameworks, and socio-economic conditions, and further adaptations as may be required, including the translation of the training manuals into local languages.
