Mid-Term Review of the 10-Year GMS Strategic Framework (2002-2012)

The Ten-Year Strategic Framework for the GMS Program (GMS-SF) was endorsed by the GMS Leaders at their First Summit in Phnom Penh in November 2002. Since then the GMS-SF has guided the implementation of the GMS Program. By 2007, halfway through the GMS-SF's implementation period, significant changes which affect the GMS Program have taken place in the regional and global environment. The Mid-Term Review assessed the relevance of the GMS-SF in the light of progress made and the changing regional and global environment.

The Review found that, under the GMS-SF, the GMS Program has accelerated, delivering concrete results and contributing to the shared vision of a prosperous, integrated and harmonious Mekong subregion. It concluded that the strategic priorities of the GMS remain valid and will serve as good bases for moving forward in the remaining half of the GMS Strategy's implementation period (2008-2012).
