AMRC external review

AMRC is a resource centre based at the School of Geosciences, University of Sydney. The Centre promotes research, discussion and debate on development and environment issues in the Mekong Region. Established in 1997, AMRC focuses on the role Australia plays in the region as a near neighbour, donor and major trading partner.

The Centre is a focal point for information, dialogue and activities in support of an equitable and sustainable development path for the Region.

By fostering a deeper and wider understanding of contemporary changes in the Mekong Region the AMRC aims to support development paths that maintain the integrity, diversity and symbiosis of local livelihoods, cultures and ecosystems.
