GREEN Mekong WebsiteEquity Portal V.1.0Training and demonstration on content uploadingMay 30, 2014

IntroductionThe program will establish an

information web portal, translated into all Lower Mekong languages and focused on grassroots stakeholder concerns and social equity. This will improve the accessibility and sharing of information on this topic across the Lower Mekong region and internationally.

How the Equity Portal works

Each CSO user account is under the Green Mekong project group. Your role is specifically to upload related contents to Green Mekong. Each country has its own page. This page is dynamically updated everytime you post a content. So, there is no need to manage the page. The system determines where to post your content based on the language you will select when submitting a content i.e. a news content from Viet Nam will be posted on the Viet Nam page.
