The Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT, Minister: Lim Hyesook) virtually held the first Steering Committee Meeting on ROK-UNOSSC Facility Phase 3 : Triangular Cooperation Project on Sustainable Development in the Lower Mekong Basin River Based on the Water-Energy-Food(WEF) Nexus.
MSIT signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in September 2021 to implement the ROK-UNOSSC Facility Phase 3, so as to meet a growing demand from developing nations to be shared with Korea’s success stories in the field of science. Under the MOU, MSIT will donate a total of four million dollars to UNDP by 2025 to support sustainable development for water, energy and foods in four nations in the Mekong region (Viet Nam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand) and respond climate changes.
At the Steering Committee Meeting were discussions on detailed plans for the cooperation projects regarding Facility Phase 3, roles and responsibilities of the implementing agencies and concrete action plans per project.
