The MRWGP is a partner-based program with Oxfam supporting more than 30 civil society, academic and institutional partners across the five countries and also at the regional level. The program aims for impact at the regional or transboundary level recognising that meaningful governance of international rivers such as the Mekong and Salween, occurs beyond the sub-national and national levels; and also recognising that river resource management is deeply connected to broader energy policy at national and international levels. The MRWGP is managed by a Project Management Unit (PMU) based in Oxfams regional office in Cambodia. The IP-2 Project is implemented in consortium with International Rivers (IR) with IR staff based in Thailand. Thai based partners are managed by IR directly with country-based partners managed by Oxfam country offices in Lao PDR, Cambodia, Vietnam and Myanmar; and regional partners that are based in a variety of locations are managed by the PMU. The MRWGP and IP-2 is supported by an Oxfam Regional Platform that includes advisors and staff based across the Asia Region with Oxfam Australia providing contractual and oversight support. ABOUT THE REGIONAL POLITICAL ECONOMIC ANALYSIS (PEA) This PEA refresh is built on the previous PEA which was commissioned in 2021 to inform the design of the Mekong Regional Water Governance Program (MRWGP) Inclusion Project Phase 2 (IP2). A recommendation from the recent Mid Term Review was to update the regional PEA to inform decision-making and priorities for the end of this project and to contribute towards the project priorities for the next potential phase.
