Mekong - U.S. Partnership
USAID’s Southeast Asia Smart Power Program was designed to support modern, connected, reliable energy system, with a particular focus on Mekong sub-region countries. The program aimed to decarbonize and strengthen the region’s power systems by increasing regional energy trade, accelerating the deployment of clean energy technologies, and actively engaging private sector leaders. The program operated in partnership with relevant ASEAN and other regional mechanisms and aligns with ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) Phase II. The program included activities under the Japan-U.S. Mekong Power Partnership Action Plan.
The Mekong-U.S. Partnership is a multinational partnership among Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, Viet Nam, and the United States to create integrated cooperation among the five Lower Mekong countries. Learn more >
