WATER AND ITS MANY ISSUES.
METHODS AND CROSS-CUTTING ANALYSIS (WP4, 3/3)

22nd February – 6th March 2021
In Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam

The first goal of the Annual ASEAN Water Platform (AWP) is to build capacity in research into water natural resource management (WNRM) within the partner countries’ institutions, by means of gathering researchers from different backgrounds for multidisciplinary methodological approaches related to the analysis of WNRM sector.

The second objective is to disseminate knowledge on WNRM and enhance collaboration between the participants. The platform must be able to increase the research collaboration between participants and to set the basis future long-term partnership between the representatives of different institutions in EU and in ASEAN. Then, the institutions partners must be able to set up and run projects on a bigger international scale.

In order to achieve those goals, AWP relies on the following working principles:

  • Transfer of methodological tools;
  • Multidisciplinary approaches (social sciences, sciences);
  • Good balance between theories and practical work;
  • Interactivity among participants;
  • Disseminate knowledge;
  • Build a collaborative network (academic and non-academic);Intercultural exchanges.

The training will gather more than 100 participants from different countries and backgrounds. AWP is the only training within Wanasea project that is open to participants from outside the consortium, mainly from Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar, thanks to co-funding sources from AUF, IRD, AFD and University of Nantes.

The AWP was initially planned to be held in Chiang Mai University in July 2020 and therefore, the project team had worked together in February 2020 in Chiang Mai discussing logistic and academic issues. Details are available in the Meeting Minutes below (available for download). However, due to the Covid 19 restrictions, it will be organised in parallel in three member countries: Cambodia (Phnom Penh), Thailand (Chiang Mai) and Vietnam (Can Tho) from 22nd Feb – 6th Mar 2021.

The general programme (updating) of this unique AWP, workshop programmes of AWP Chiang Mai and AWP Can Tho as well as related application forms are available for download below (Materials for download).

This year, participants will also have a chance to attend the Innovative Research Competition. The Grant award for the winner of each country is 1.000 EUR. The Term of Reference and Application of this competition is available for download too.

Follow us on Facebook or this website for more updates.

Videos of previous trainings are available at the project’s official Youtube channel.

Call for contribution to a collective book on: “Inequalities and environmental changes in the Mekong River Basin” https://wanasea.eu/call-for-contribution-to-a-collective-book-on-inequalities-and-environmental-changes-in-the-mekong-river-basin/ Thu, 09 Jan 2020 00:20:19 +0000 https://wanasea.eu/?p=2042 Inequalities and environmental changes in the Mekong River Basin

Call for contribution to a collective book on:

“Inequalities and environmental changes in the Mekong River Basin”

Co-editors Alexis Drogoul1, Etienne Espagne2, Linh Huynh Thi Phuong3, Stéphane Lagrée4

AFD Editions

Rising inequalities and accelerating environmental changes are two of the most significant challenges of the twenty-first century. But how do they relate to each other? Do they have common drivers? As stated in Hamman et al (2018), most research is one-directional, i.e. focusing on the specific effects of social inequalities on the environment (Cushing et al., 2015) or vice-versa (De Laubier Longuet, 2019), and fails to take into account a more complex understanding of how inequality and the state of the environment interact with each other.

Throughout South-East Asia, and especially in the least advanced countries, socio-economic inequalities, relating to income, employment, education, access to land, as well as demographic differences, such as age or gender, are more and more associated with unequal exposure to environmental risk factors (Bangalore et al., 2016). These factors can represent direct threats to people’s lives (landslides, flooding, etc.), or contribute, in an indirect way, to the degradation of agricultural land, propagation of diseases, or, more widely, health issues (air pollution, etc.) (Narloch and Bangalore, 2018). They most often put already disadvantaged people at significantly higher risk regarding environmental effects. Environmental risk factors are not only consequences of global climate changes. They are also (and, until now, most often) consequences of the growing pressures of human societies on their ecosystems. As shown in Inghals et al. (2018), the Mekong region has been radically transformed in the last ten years by the pace and scale of large-scale land acquisitions through foreign and domestic investments, leading to growing inequalities, rural unrest, and a process of simplification and commodification increasingly replacing traditional and natural systems.

In an attempt to gather evidences and works on this topic, we call for contributions to a collective book. We specifically look for manuscripts that illustrate the inequality – environmental nexus in the region (Mekong/Southeast Asia covering one the five countries) as a whole or in one/some of the following five countries: Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. The research should cover one or several environmental elements, including land, water, air, agriculture, climate, ecosystem, biodiversity, forest, mining, in relation to one or various dimensions of inequality, including but not limited to economic (eg. Access to various needs for life), social (eg. Identity, class), cultural (eg. Perspective, belief), political (eg. Participation), spatial (eg. Geography), environment (eg. Environmental Justice) and knowledge (eg. information, education) inequalities. Among others, we specifically put priority on researches that include comparative elements: e.g., comparisons before and after social or environmental changes, or between social groups, communities, places or countries.

This book comes as a by-product of an ongoing systematic review of the inequality-environmental changes nexus in the Mekong region, which will propose, through an exhaustive and qualified search in both the scientific and grey literatures, and critical appraisal in assessing the quality of the collected documents. A synthesis of this systematic review will appear in the book, together with an operational conclusion relative to the state of the current knowledge. One of the main aims of this call for contributions is to illustrate the complexity of the nexus with different case studies, and also propose the broadest possible coverage in terms of geographical and thematic scopes. We therefore reserve the possibility to suggest narrowing or enlarging, when necessary, the scope of the proposals.

Timeline:

  • 29th of February 2020: submission of an extended abstract (three-page minimum) including a description of the research objectives, the methodologies, some preliminary results, and bibliography.
  • 13th of March 2020: notification of acceptance (for both the conference and the chapter)

This project proposes a systematic analysis of the inequality-environmental change nexus in the Lower Mekong River Basin Region. It aims at building scientific base for policy action as well as identifying uninvestigated research questions. In addition, case studies on relevant fields in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand, representing existing or ongoing researches undertaken by the research network (WANASEA – “Strengthen the Production, Management and Outreach Capacities of Research in the Field of Water and Natural Resources in South-Est Asia” – and IRD) will form a collective book on the topic, together with the systematic review.

Context

Mekong River Basin is crucial for the livelihoods of millions of people of six countries: China, Myanmar, Lao PDR, Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam. The last four countries are categorized as the Lower Mekong Basin, where two thirds of the population rely on the water resources for subsistence agriculture and fisheries as well as to develop other activities such as transport and tourism. The current anthropogenic causes for environmental degradation in the region include the construction of dams, over-extraction of underground water, pollution from fast developing cities, deforestation, sand extraction, and other activities which create risks to human settlements that were even unheard of ten years ago. More often than not, the impacts of changes vary between groups of people and strongly informed by the social inequalities. Climate change adds to this ongoing environmental degradation by increasing the region’s fragility. For example, one meter of sea-level rise would cause displacement of 7 million inhabitants and flood the homes of more than 14.2 million people in the Mekong Delta.

These major anthropogenic degradations take place in a specific regional and global socio-political context. On the one hand, an accelerated rural transition has been pushed by national governments with the idea of integrating the agricultural sector into the global markets, but also under the pressure of global financial markets searching for returns in the aftermaths of the financial crisis. This rural transition occurs at a pace that fragilizes the economies when they cannot absorb the workforce in excess into the developing industrial or services sectors. In this respect, the Mekong region is a spectacular example of the economic and environmental consequences of the 2008 financial collapse on developing and emerging economies. On the other hand, the countries of the Mekong region are also subjected to the geopolitical shift putting China in the center of a new globalized system. Most of them contribute heavily to this new dynamic, which also severely impacts their environment and inequalities altogether.

For years, international and local organizations, South-East Asian governments as well as bilateral and multilateral development banks have been working to help the Mekong countries mitigate these impacts. However, the lack of a systematic review of existing knowledge in the Mekong makes it difficult to evaluate the impact of specific actions on inequalities and environmental quality. At a moment when governments (both regionally and globally) call for urgent actions, it is time to consider a systemic approach to the environment – inequality nexus in the region.

Objectives

Rising inequalities and accelerating environmental changes are two of the most significant challenges of the twenty-first century. But how do they relate to each other? Do they have common dynamic factors? This research project proposes a specific regional study on how these multidimensional variables of inequality and environmental changes relate and interact with each other. It aims at building scientific base for policy action as well as identifying uninvestigated research questions

Throughout the region, socio-economic inequalities relating to income, employment, education, access to land and other services, as well as demographic differences, such as age, gender, ethnic, and so on are more and more associated with unequal exposure to environmental risk factors. These factors can represent direct threats to people’s lives (landslides, flooding, etc.), or contribute, in an indirect way, to the degradation of agricultural land, propagation of diseases, or, more widely, health issues (air pollution, etc.). They often put already disadvantaged groups at significantly higher risk for environmental effects. Besides, the existing inequality might also contribute to the environmental changes.

Environmental risk factors considered in this project are not solely linked to global climate changes. They are also (and, for the moment, most often) the direct consequences of the growing pressure of human populations and the economic dynamics on the ecosystems. This is particularly visible throughout the Mekong River Basin. The Mekong region has been radically transformed in the last ten years by the pace and scale of large-scale land acquisitions through foreign and domestic investments leading to growing inequalities, rural unrest, and a process of simplification and commodification increasingly replacing traditional and natural systems. The spatial scope of analysis cannot thus remain purely national.

At this stage however, it seems difficult for the local or national decision maker, let alone any regional institution, to take science-based action, as long as no mapping of this scattered knowledge exists, highlighting the diverse quality of the studies, their data sources, their representativeness, the needs for further studies or on the contrary the well-established results. Scoping and systematic reviews, a technic initially coming from the field of medicine, can provide with such a dashboard instrument.

Beyond the project, an objective would be to build a research and capacities research project mobilizing the main academic and non-academic actors in the Southeast Asia region on the research directions which would have emerged from this systematic study.

Method

Scoping the existing knowledge on inequalities and environmental change in the Mekong region

First, we will conduct a preliminary scoping review of the related scientific and grey literature on inequalities and environmental changes in the Lower Mekong region. The resulting literature and data repository created by the review can be of use to researchers and stakeholders interested in the topic. As such, it represents a scientific result and output that can be published in a first scientific paper. It also represents a crucial first step for the two co-implementing partners in the region, who represent a broad network of interdisciplinary researchers in the four countries of the Lower Mekong River basin, and who intend to develop broader research programs based on this scoping review.

Building a dashboard for operational recommendations through a systematic review

Second, we will develop a systematic review. In this second step, quality filters apply, it involves data extraction as well as quantitative analysis. This step requires the work of a full-time post-doc, helped by experts in the different fields represented in the scoping review, and possibly the help of documentalists from the different represented countries. It is thus crucial to be able to gather the expertise of a network of researchers and operational experts already working in the different dimensions of the subject. This is what the WANASEA network, combined with the IRD network in South-East Asia as well as experts from AFD in the region, the Mekong River Commission (MRC), the Compagnie Nationale du Rhône (CNR), the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and the IUCN will allow to convey. This expert committee will commit to contribute a few days in the year to help the post-doctoral expert taken the right decisions in the filter of data, methods and papers.

Integrating case studies illustrations in the general framework

As a third step of the project, we propose to develop four case-studies which would shed the light on different existing research programs which already studied some aspects of the relation between inequalities and environmental changes along the lower Mekong river basin, from Laos to Vietnam.

Results

The first results of the project will be presented for the international conference on “Climate impacts in South-East Asia” in Quy Nhon (Vietnam) in march 2020. They will lead at least two research papers and a collective book.

The final results will be presented at the ASEAN Water Platform (WANASEA) in the summer 2020 in Chiang Mai University (Thailand).

Implementing research: Methodological and management challenges (WP3/5) Training session at ITC Phnom Penh, Cambodia, December 16th-20th, 2019 https://wanasea.eu/implementing-research-methodological-and-management-challenges-wp3-5-training-session-at-itc-phnom-penh-cambodia-december-16th-20th-2019/ Sun, 20 Oct 2019 19:00:41 +0000 https://wanasea.eu/?p=1962 Context

Improvement to the quality of teaching and research in Water and Natural Resources Management (WNRM) cannot be ensured without a) a high commitment of HEIs in the partner countries, b) a high quality of trainers selected from the program countries, c) the ability to provide support (financial and supervision) of young researchers, and d) a balance/good fit between the academic skills taught and the skills needed by the wider economic and social environment.

This is the reason why WANASEA (Water and Natural resources in South-East Asia) project includes, as part of its activities, 5 training sessions in its 3 years of implementation. While the first and second ones were centered on “Genesis of research: science, knowledge and society” and “Project design:writing a scientific proposal”, this third one focuses on “Implementing research: methodological and management challenges”. It is co-organized by the Center for Research and Expertise on Education and Development (CREED, France) and the Institute of Technology of Cambodia (ITC, Phnom Penh).

A clear holistic approach is taken since WNRM issues are clearly connected to their societal environment. In addition, an inclusive approach that combines learning about both the scientific and professional aspects of research and teaching activities makes WANASEA’s training sessions unique.

Objective

The main objective of this third training session is to address the challenges of effective implementation of a research project in the field of WNRM among WANASEA’s Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). More specifically, the goals are to strengthen the capacities of young researchers to implement multidisciplinary research activities and to improve the capacities of their institution to support the implementation of a project.

Target groups

Both academic and administrative staff, who have implemented a research project in recent years or are currently involved in the implementation of a research project related to WNRW, are targeted for training.

Criteria of selection

Trainees should be young professionals (under 40), who can communicate well in the English language and who demonstrate a strong interest for developing research and teaching innovation.

Their profiles should be complementary enough so that as a whole, they will constitute a team of researchers and staff who are able to boost research activities and quality of teaching. We encourage WANASEA’s partners to carefully select the trainees in order to meet the above mentioned objectives. Trainees must come with a proven experience of project implementation. It is a condition to be selected.

Topic: Implementing research: methodological and management challenges

In this session, we will focus on different elements found in the implementation of a research project, which are not directly linked to scientific disciplines. Indeed, whatever the topic and/or the disciplines of a project, some questions or issues related to the research process in general, are shared.

Our objective being to address in priority the needs of the participants, the topics of this session will be precisely defined once the trainees are identified. Nevertheless, the session will deal with subjects such as:

  • State of the art / search of secondary data
  • Data collection (quanti/quali)
  • Management of financial resources
  • Management of human resources
  • Ethics
  • Intellectual property
  • Reference management tools
  • Monitoring of activities
  • Reporting
  • Contract management

This session will help to develop the core skill of a scientist and to identify the conditions for its institution to set up some administrative support for researchers.

Methodology

This training session will use a teaching methodology inspired by the reverse classroom method. It means that very few lectures will be given. The knowledge shared will be found through the experience of the trainees and also through collective thinking and brainstorming.

  • Pre-course: pre-assessment will be sent to participants to determine their existing knowledge, skills and interests. Reading material will be sent accordingly.
  • As an introduction, a webinar will be organized about one week before the session, being the opportunity to hear from experienced researchers about the challenges faced through the implementation of a project.
  • The training session will last 5 days and is designed to train approximately 20 people.
  • The learning process is founded upon concrete and tangible activities related to trainees’ concerns. Methods, techniques and exercises will be based on ideas, case studies, programs and/or projects developed by the trainees themselves, resulting in clear improvement of the latter. For this reason, substantial (but reasonable) preparatory work will be asked to the trainees, 2 to 3 weeks before the training.
  • For the training session, 2 or 3 trainers will be mobilized. We expect a high level commitment of the trainers and trainees attending seminars and transparency of the selection process.

Calendar and milestones

  • From 16 to 28 October: call for applications open (see application form next page)
  • 29 October: Wanasea’s members send to ITC/CREED up to 5 applications
  • 5 November: selection of the trainees and beginning of the pre-class activities.

WATER AND ITS MANY ISSUES.
METHODS AND CROSS-CUTTING ANALYSIS (WP4, 2/3)

Phnom Penh, July 05th-13th

AWP 2019:

The first goal of the Annual ASEAN Water Platform (AWP) is to build capacity in research into water natural resource management (WNRM) within the partner countries’ institutions, by means of gathering researchers from different backgrounds for multidisciplinary methodological approaches related to the analysis of WNRM sector.

The second objective is to disseminate knowledge on WNRM and enhance collaboration between the participants. The platform must be able to increase the research collaboration between participants and to set the basis future long-term partnership between the representatives of different institutions in EU and in ASEAN. Then, the institutions partners must be able to set up and run projects on a bigger international scale.

This year, NUM will hold a Summer School of two Erasmus+ Capacity-building projects coordinated by University of Nantes, named DOCKSIDE and WANASEA, with the participation of more than 100 Asian young researchers and Europeans visiting scholars. In addition, a number of places will be given to candidates outside WANASEA consortium, mainly from Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar, thanks to co-fundings from AUF, IRD and University of Nantes.

In order to achieve those goals, AWP relies on the following working principles:

  • Transfer of methodological tools;
  • Multidisciplinary approaches (social sciences, sciences);
  • Good balance between theories and practical work;
  • Interactivity among participants;
  • Disseminate knowledge;
  • Build a collaborative network (academic and non-academic);
  • Intercultural exchanges.
