Existing regional frameworks and initiatives in the SEA region can help address some of the major challenges that national hydrometeorological service providers face. 2019-08-07T15:19:30Z 2019-08-07T15:19:30Z 2018-06-01 Policy Note http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/875091563162878531/Strengthening-the-Regional-Dimension-of-Hydromet-Services-in-Southeast-Asia-A-Policy-Note-with-a-Focus-on-Cambodia-Lao-PDR-and-Vietnam http://hdl.handle.net/10986/32200 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Policy Note Economic & Sector Work East Asia and Pacific Lao People's Democratic Republic
