BACKGROUND The Asian Institute of Technology (AIT, www.ait.asia) is leading a European Union-financed project entitled “Sustaining and Enhancing the Momentum for Innovation and Learning around the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) in the Lower Mekong River Basin (SRI-LMB: http://www.sri-lmb.ait.asia/), The project is implemented, in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Oxfam America, SRI-Rice Cornell University in USA, the University of Queensland in Australia, government ministries and national universities of Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand - AIT has been implementing a “more intelligent pathway” for cultivating healthy and profitable rice under climate change scenario. System of Rice Intensification (SRI) is an emerging alternative set of principles and methods to conventional rice cultivation techniques that instills a social dimension to farming to produce healthy and profitable crops using less water and less seed, and through skillful management of plants, soils, water, nutrients, pests and labour. The Project is being implemented in food-insecure rainfed rice production areas of the Lower Mekong River Basin countries. The objective is to develop location-specific practices using the principles of SRI and Farmer Field School platforms by initiating and facilitating farmers’ participatory action research. Documenting the results and sharing them with the immediate farming community and communities at large through an inclusive participatory process from local to national and regional level represents the core modus operandi of the project. The government policies within the context of sustainable agriculture development and climate- resilient, food-secure rainfed smallholder systems have been taken into consideration while designing the project activities. Evidence-based policy options for a better set of policies are being generated through a participatory consultation process working closely with all relevant stakeholders, including policy-makers in the country. Within the context of the project, a series of activities were undertaken in Lao PDR (in three selected provinces: Vientiane, Khammouan and Savannakhet) since June 2014. These included the scoping of problem identification, Baseline Survey, focused group discussion to collect information on the challenge and opportunities faced by cultivated rice farmers, trainers and farmers. This was conducted in December 2014 in three selected provinces. A number of 3 constraint related to rice crop management were identified in this process among others are: the need to develop knowledge and capacity of farmers to improve rice productivity with sufficiency quality by using appropriated technique, technology, and input production focusing on conservation of natural resources base, enhancing and sustaining soil fertility, and enhancing water management, using local wisdom and resources availabilities is foreseen as the key approach to address the small holder farmers. This is also important to address the challenge of providing alternative sources of making income for rain-fed farmers, and especially for the landless farmers, women and young farmers without leaving their home town. These locally identified challenges were utilized to develop learning curricula in the Central Farmer’s Participatory Action Research (CFPAR) process so as to develop capacity of the Farmer Trainers to work with the communities to develop location-specific technology beginning January 2015. The CFPAR activities were implemented in the three provinces during the dry season rice production in year 2015 and were aimed at boosting capacity of farmer trainers to initiate design of experiment while involving other farmers from their communities in initiating science-based action research. These research/demonstration activities, so called Farmer’s Participatory Action Research (FPAR), focus on development of location-specific technologies and best management practices under ambit of SRI. These FPAR activities started during the wet-season 2015 and continued in 2016 led by Farmer Trainers working with other farmers in their communities. A next and final cycle of FPAR activities was planned for implementation during 2017 wet season. The FPAR 2017 activities were conducted in 82 sites with the intervention design including data gathering from farmer control plots around the FPAR demonstration plots. 4 2.

Contemporary Phuthai Textiles Linda S. McIntosh Simon Fraser University [email protected] © Linda S. McIntosh 2004 The hand-woven textiles of the Phuthai ethnic group continue to represent Phuthai identity but also reflect exposure to foreign elements such as through trade and changes in the regional political power. If one asks a Phuthai woman what is Phuthai dress, she will answer, sin mii lae suea lap lai, or a skirt decorated with weft ikat technique and a fitted blouse of indigo dyed cotton, decorated with hand-woven, patterned red silk. Despite the use of synthetic dyes readily available in the local markets, many women still grow indigo and cotton, and indigo-stained hands and the repetitious sounds of weaving are still found in Phuthai villages. This paper focuses on the Phuthai living in Savannakhet Province, Laos, but they are also found in Khammuan, Bolikhamsay, and Salavan provinces of Laos as well as in Thailand and Vietnam.1 Contemporary refers to textile production in the last thirty years but particularly in the last ten years after the liberalization of the Lao government policies and the return of private business and tourism after the 1980s.

  • Thematic Interpretation Plan Savannakhet Province Lao People's Democratic Republic
    Thematic Interpretation Plan Savannakhet Province Lao People’s Democratic Republic GMS-Sustainable Tourism Development Project in Lao PDR Lao National Tourism Administration Prepared by: Linda Susan McIntosh, PhD Candidate Thematic Interpretation and Textile Specialist 33 Soi 1 Sukhumvit Road Klongtoey-nua, Wattana What is Thematic Interpretation? Thematic Interpretation is the practice of verbal and non-verbal communication, using illustrated and non-illustrated techniques to present complex subject matter in an interesting and engaging way. One model of Thematic Interpretation is TORE™ = Thematic, Organized, Relevant, and Enjoyable “Successful interpretation provokes people to think. Their thinking creates meanings in their own minds. Themes can stay with us, even when we forget the smaller facts that support them. Strong themes stick in our minds, some of them forever”. Themes, because they are whole ideas, are expressed in the same form as information already stored in our minds. So when we communicate a theme effectively we give visitors something they can readily relate, self-appropriate, and incorporate into their thinking. Themes are ideas not topics: Examples of Themes: An Example of a Topic: • Birds are a fascinating group of animals • Birds because of their special adaptations for flight. • Native birds everywhere are in a fight for their lives because of overdevelopment and Having a theme helps us prepare educational and promotional materials. It makes our job a lot easier because with a theme we able to understand what to include and not include in a presentation to visitors. 2 SAVANNAKHET HISTORIC TRAIL - Background The SAVANNAKHET HISTORIC TRAIL is a new tour circuit consisting of historic, cultural and natural attractions, situated along the East-West Corridor in Savannakhet Province, Lao PDR.

The typhoon caused severe damage and losses to the basic infrastructure, especially to productive areas, the irrigation system, roads and bridges, hospitals, and schools. Further, the typhoon disrupted the local people’s livelihoods, assets and properties. The poor and vulnerable groups of people are most affected by the typhoon. Without immediate recovery efforts, its consequences will gravely compromise the development efforts undertaken so far by the government, seriously set back economic dynamism, and further jeopardise the already very precarious situation in some of the provinces that were hard hit by the typhoon. A Joint Damage, Losses and Needs Assessment (JDLNA) was undertaken, with field visit to the four most affected provinces from 25th July to 5th August 2011.

Background and objective In the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Laos), the remaining capacity of the final disposal site in cities is becoming insufficient due to the influence of the population increase and the progress of urbanization in recent years. The waste collection rate remains at a low level. In many cases, medical waste and hazardous waste are also dumped in municipal waste disposal sites and vacant lots without proper treatment. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) is in charge of formulating policies and plans for overall environmental measures, including waste management, and coordinating related ministries and agencies. On the other hand, the actual waste management work is under the jurisdiction of different ministries and agencies depending on the type of waste. In the central government, the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) oversees general waste, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce (MOIC) is in charge of industrial waste, and the Ministry of Health (MOH) is in charge of medical waste.

Mr Bounpan Inthavongthong, Technical Staff, Register Statistics Division, Social Statistics Department Supported By: United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) District Population Projections 2015-2035 I Forward Population projections are extremely important for effective management and administration of population growth and related demographic issues. If population projections are as accurate as possible, the government and policy makers will be informed to formulate policies and develop plans with greater precision in order to provide necessary and effective population services such as social services and social welfare. Due to this importance and necessity the Lao Statistics Bureau, under the Ministry of Planning and Investment has conducted this population projection by using the baseline data from the fourth Population and Housing Census in 2015. Population projections demonstrate a calculation of the population’s size and characteristics in the future. It is not possible to guarantee one hundred percent accurate estimations, even if the best available methodology was utilized in the estimation. Therefore, it is necessary for Lao Statistics Bureau to improve the population projections periodically in order to obtain a more accurate picture of the population in the future, which is estimated using data from several surveys such as Lao Social Indicator Survey and other surveys.

Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR) has been increasingly affected by extreme weather events. This is particularly problematic due to its high sensitivity, resulting from dependence on climate-sensitive natural resources and its low adaptive capacity. The impacts of extreme weather events have been severe to the point that in 2013 Lao PDR was named the seventh most severely affected country in the world by climate change, with 23 deaths and absolute losses of US$ PPP 263,510,0001. Irregularity in rainfall has led to both floods and droughts, with a variation in severity from year to year. Not only does Lao PDR have a high exposure to extreme weather events, particularly floods, but recent reports by the INFORM Global Risk Index show a low ability to cope with these events2.
