The project launch meeting, held on June 26, 2023, in Bangkok, aimed to align stakeholders on the project's scope and work plan for implementing climate-smart water technologies in the Lancang-Mekong Region. Key discussions centered on the practical application of technologies for farmers, the identification of drought-prone areas such as northeastern Thailand, and the challenges of implementing Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) in rainfed regions. The meeting also addressed the organization of regional meetings and the selection of demonstration sites in China, Thailand, and Lao PDR, emphasizing the need for gender-inclusive data and the involvement of youth and farmers' organizations.
