Preliminary results and experiences in applying Section 1 of 2009 HSAP were also presented at a Regional Informal Dialogue organized by M-POWER and the Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF) in Vientiane, Lao PDR, on the eve of the Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Forum (HSAF) meeting on May 2, 2010.
