Abstract

Women leaders in water governance in the Mekong region include community leaders, activists, and members of civil society. Because networking and discussion spaces (both on- and offline) are typically male-dominated, women face barriers in participating, which results in a gap in the usefulness of digital and technologically-focused tools. As a form of knowledge co-production with elements of participatory action research, the production of this online platform has the potential to empower women and help build their technical and leadership capacity. This project brief traces activities in preparation and production of the platform.
