Mekong Institute has provided us with capacity building programs for the citizens of GMS region in a very effective way. The lessons and lectures have been very informational and the knowledge taught can be used practically in our everyday live as professionals. The most valuable thing that I have gained through attending one of the short courses that Mekong have offered is the networks and the people that we meet during the short course. This social network with the rest of the participants from all six countries will last very long and will be very helpful in life
