Background

The Australia-Mekong Water Facility (AMWF) is a new four-year AU$9.86 million GMWRP investment which offers a direct government-to-government line of engagement between Australia and countries in the Mekong region. It aims to augment Australia’s international water diplomacy by providing a responsive, nimble and flexible mechanism for Australia to further enhance existing water-related partnerships with the governments of the Mekong region. The Facility’s geographic focus includes Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, as well as Yunnan Province in southwest China.
