The Mekong Integrated Water Resources Project (M-IWRMP) comprises of three components; Regional, Transboundary and National component.

The transboundary level is strategically applied and focuses on bi-and multilateral cooperation between the MRC Member Countries and cross-country projects that are facilitated through the MRC Secretariat. The Transboundary Component contains 4 Transboundary and 1 Communication Outreach Project to demonstrate IWRM principles on a bilateral basis, addressing transboundary issues at a local level.
