Suhardiman, D., de Silva, S., Carew-Reid, J. 2011. Policy Review and Institutional Analysis of the Hydropower Sector in Lao PDR, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Lao PDR: IWMI, ICEM and IWMI.

The   report   reviewed   existing   policies   and   legal   frameworks   relating   to   land-­‐water-­‐environment   management   with   a   focus   on   hydropower   development   and   livelihood   options   in   Lao   PDR,   Cambodia,   and  Vietnam.  It  described  and  analyzed  the  sectoral  decision-­‐making  set  up  at  national  level.  Later,  this   decision-­‐making  set  up  was  linked  with  operational  rules  and  procedures  of  hydropower  projects  in  each   of  the  three  countries.
