Significant milestone in the History of ALiSEA Network – Creation of National Board of Members: Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam

Vientiane, 31 May 2021.

A significant milestone in the history of ALiSEA Network was reached towards an autonomous member-managed network with the creation of the National ALiSEA Board of Members in three countries: Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam! 

The National ALiSEA Board of Members (BoM) will play a key role in supporting the network structuration, shaping its governance, building a shared vision among members and developing national strategy and action plan.  

As a result of the call for interest launched early 2021, among all ALiSEA Network Members, the Board of Members is now put in place and consist of five members organizations in Cambodia, four in Laos and five in Vietnam.

The selection committee was composed of eight people from GRET, CIRAD and the current ALiSEA national secretariat. The selection committee involved people at national and regional levels.
