To improve the governance and management of water resources and associated land and ecosystems in the Greater Mekong Region by generating and sharing the knowledge and practice needed to do so.
What we’re aiming for: goal
![Page 3: Research for Change Kim Geheb, Regional Coordinator CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems Greater Mekong Program.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e715503460f94b6eecb/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What we’re aiming for: outcomes
Water Governance: Negotiations and decisions about water-related policies, institutions and practices are more inclusive, informed and accountable.River Health: River management decisions will be informed and strengthened by regionally-appropriate, equitable, river health frameworks, data collection and monitoring systems.
River Food Systems: Decisions on locating, designing and operating water infrastructure are improved with evidence of the impacts and opportunities they create for river food systems, both now and in the future.Healthy Landscapes & Ecosystems: Large-scale land use management decisions and investments will employ landscape planning and management methods that take into account riverine ecosystem services with a focus on river health, water supply, aquatic ecosystems and impacts on local livelihoods and development.
Capacity building & Professional Development: Organizations and individuals have knowledge and skills to more constructively engage in water-related governance, management, monitoring and research.

GenderUnderstanding how infrastructural development is experienced by men and women differently, and to help developers ensure their projects minimise harm, and potentially, how they can play a positive role in addressing gender inequality

• How is water governed in the four basins (actors, influence, formal and informal institutions, current results, and political-economy perspectives)?
• What does ‘river health’ mean in the Greater Mekong, and what are its indicators?
• In what ways will the development of the Greater Mekong’s water resources affect the ways in which food is produced, distributed and consumed amongst men, women and children?
• How do large-scale landscape interventions impact access to water for women and other indigenous groups?

Areas of value (1)
Research for developmentResearch which addresses
discrete developmental challenges, and which are
supported by programmatic strategies to deliver its outputs
into change.
![Page 9: Research for Change Kim Geheb, Regional Coordinator CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems Greater Mekong Program.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649e715503460f94b6eecb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Areas of value (2)
Partnerships & NetworksBy partnering with developing country agencies, we reduce overall research costs, reduce overheads, and increase the
likelihood of impact.

Areas of value(3)
Partnerships & NetworksBy partnering with developing country agencies, we improve our partnership profiles, and
therefore increase the likelihood of future funding.

Funding
Opportunity Challenge
DFAT post 2018 DFAT annoyance at WLE’s truncation and budget cuts.
SIDA Regional strategy keeps changing.
NORAD Unclear and exclusively Myanmar.
SDC Regional water investments MRC-exclusive.
Netherlands Very Myanmar exclusive and biased in favour of Dutch agencies.
DFID Myanmar exclusive.
