GREEN Mekong Equity Portal Manual v1.0

GREEN Mekong Website
Training and demonstration on content uploading
May 30, 2014
Introduction
The 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 Equity Portal. 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.
