This project aims to create a comprehensive framework for sustainable resource management in the Mekong region.
This project is part of the broader Shared Resources, Joint Solutions (SRJS) initiative, a collaborative effort designed to enhance the sustainable use of natural resources across diverse ecosystems.
In the Mekong region, the project focuses on protecting and promoting the sustainable use of forestry, fisheries, and other ecosystems in the provinces of Kratie, Stung Treng, and Rattanakiri. SRJS will be integrated into the Partnership for Forestry and Fisheries (PaFF).
The project emphasizes capacity development, partnership, advocacy and lobbying for policy changes. Capacity development initiatives will cover the basic concepts, principles and operational aspects of landscape management, Integrated Production Groups (IPGs) and green economy. These initiatives aim to encourage informed engagement among stakeholders based on a shared understanding and framework for analysis, strategy and intervention.
Landscape forums will serve as a platform for learning and promoting the landscape approach, a critical concept for managing biodiversity in the Mekong region. These forums will facilitate closer coordination, coherence, and consistency in implementing policies that govern the landscape and associated IPGs.

SRJS will be integrated into the Partnership for Forestry and Fisheries (PaFF).The emphasis of project is three folded: capacity development, partnership and advocacy and lobbying for changes in corresponding national and subnational policy. SRJS proposes to embark on a series of capacity development initiatives, including the basic concept, principles, and operational aspects of landscape and IPGs/green economy expected to encourage more informed engagement among different stakeholders based on this shared understanding and framework for analysis, strategy, and intervention. The landscape forums are envisioned to be a venue for learning and promoting the landscape approach, a concept used to manage the Mekong biodiversity and perhaps other similar landscapes in the country, and for pushing for closer coordination, coherence, and consistency in the implementation of existing policies governing the landscape and the associated IPGs.
