MK5: On Coordination and Multiple Stakeholder Platforms (MSPs).

CPWF Mekong Project 5 is divided into two components, the first relating to coordination, and the second to the development, management and maintenance of multiple stakeholder platforms.

Coordination

The Basin Leader leads this project team, which is responsible for coherence of the overall BDC research program through ensuring BDC research remains problem-, opportunity- and impact-focused.

Multiple stakeholder platforms

* Ensuring the building and strengthening of multi-stakeholder platforms relevant to BDC goals, and BDC research contribution to these platforms.

* Building on CPWF Phase I, leading the further development of networks that link research efforts of organizations contributing to the BDC to intermediaries and final users so that BDC research and network building continues to have impact long after the BDC has finished.
