Rivers of Knowledge in the Greater Mekong Region
Rivers of Knowledge in the Greater Mekong Region
By the APMAS, AIT-E and PROCASUR Team

It’s been three days since practitioners of
Cambodia, India, Laos, Madagascar, Thailand and Vietnam started their learning
route. Mrs. Tram Mihn Tam, from the Vietnamese team already took note about how
if the right measure of public and private interest is located, capacity
enhancement and market opportunities will arise for the rural poor families
with an increased impact.

The Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr Foundation also hosted
the participants of the learning route, and is willing to engage with the Laos’
participant Mr. Bounheng Amphavanh on a technical assistance contract. This
experience, localized in the Prachinburi Province, portrays a successful
initiative on local knowledge retrieval and valuing of traditional medicine,
with an extended supplying network of small farmers supported on fair trade
practices.
The
knowledge exchange between participants and the AIT-E scholars and government
officers already created a good ambiance for innovation. In the upcoming days
participants will arrive to Nakhon Ratchasima province to meet Siam Organic and
PDA PPP experiences.
