Mekong Basin Development Plan: Promoting Sustainable Growth and Regional Cooperation

The Mekong Basin Development Plan (BDP) aims to foster economic growth through a participatory approach that emphasizes investment and sustainable management of shared Mekong River resources, as outlined in the 1995 Agreement. Key strategies include balancing development opportunities with resource conservation, ensuring regional cooperation while addressing national interests, and enhancing public participation. The BDP involves comprehensive planning tools to identify joint projects, promote capacity building, and address trans-boundary impacts, ultimately contributing to sustainable basin-wide benefits.
