We’re pleased to announce that from October 1, 2025, International Rivers’ Southeast Asia Program will carry on its work as an independent organization with a regional mandate: the Rivers & Rights Foundation.

This transition marks an important step forward in prioritizing advocacy that’s grounded in regional leadership and realities. We are committed to continuing to work collaboratively as colleagues alongside allied groups, movements and networks in solidarity with communities that are facing growing threats to their rivers and livelihoods in an increasingly challenging landscape.

We look forward to seeing what we can accomplish and wish our colleagues well in this exciting new chapter.
