The Annual Country Reviews reflect upon current land relations in the Mekong Region, and has been
produced for researchers, practitioners and policy advocates operating in the field. Specialists have been
selected from Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam to briefly answer the following two
questions:
1. What are the most pressing developments involving land governance in your country?
2. What are the most important issues for the researcher on land?
Responses are not intended to be exhaustive, and they represent personalized images of the current
situation in each country. They serve to inform and inspire discussion on land-related topics in the
Mekong Region. This sixth edition of the Annual Country Reviews has been compiled at the end of 2021,
looking forward into the new year. There is also a regional perspective drawing together country-based
observations to look at land and agricultural investments through the Mekong region.
