This project facilitates knowledge exchange between Nepal and Vietnam to advance sustainable hydropower development. Two research centres, Hydro Lab in Nepal and KLORCE in Vietnam, will collaborate by sharing expertise in water flow, sediment management, and the use of mapping tools for disaster risk reduction. Hydro Lab aims to improve its work on large dam projects and adopt new technologies, while KLORCE focuses on enhancing skills related to small river hydropower projects and field data collection. The project’s goal is to develop new skills and strengthen young professionals’ capabilities in research and development. This will enable them to design affordable, reliable, and climate-resilient energy solutions. Together, they will train experts to build sustainable water projects and address climate challenges in both countries.
