Mississippi-Mekong Partnership: Improving Policy Decision-Making ProcessesA fundamental goal of this project is to examine the lessons learned in the Mississippi River Basin and transfer the knowledge and technical expertise acquired to help Mekong River Basin countries make informed and balanced development decisions. Another important goal is to bring local, state, and national decision-makers from the Mississippi and Mekong Basins together to discuss stakeholder participation in public policy-making, effective resource management strategies, and long-term partnership opportunities. The Mekong River Commission brings Mekong River Basin countries into the partnership. US partners include the University of Minnesota, the Mississippi River Basin Alliance, and the Mississippi River Institute for Global Cooperation.
