Introduction 1. The Government of Lao People’s Democratic Republic (GoL) is implementing the GMS East-west Economic Corridor Agriculture Infrastructure Sector Project (EWEC-AISP) in the provinces of Savannakhet and Salavan. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is supporting the project through Loan 3024-Lao (SF).1 The EWEC-AISP aims to regenerate and upgrade existing but underdeveloped and outdated agriculture infrastructure facilities that include pumping stations, weirs, canals, control structures, farm access roads and bridges. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) is the executing agency (EA), assisted by the Department of Irrigation (DOI) that put up a National Project Management Office (NPMO) in Vientiane. The provincial governments of Savannakhet and Salavan are the implementing agencies (IAs), each assisted by a Provincial Project Management Office (PPMO). The District Coordination Office (DCO) at the District Agriculture and Forestry Office (DAFO) of each participating district provides support to the PPMO. The EWEC-AISP is being implemented in 3 phases, with 3 subprojects in Phase 1 (commenced in 2016) and 12 subprojects in Phase 2 (with 6 subprojects commencing in 2017-2018). Phase 3 has not yet started and 10 subprojects are being considered for inclusion. 2. This due diligence review (DDR) report covers the 3 subprojects in Phase 1 that were completed in 2017. The report will (1) look into the scope of project impacts, (2) check on how land acquisition was planned and executed, and (3) suggest actions that need to be undertaken to correct any outstanding social issues. It is hoped that lessons could be drawn from the findings of this report that would help project authorities improve resettlement planning and implementation in subsequent subprojects of the AISP.

  • Family Planning Situation Analysis Lao People’S Democratic Republic
    Family Planning Situation Analysis Lao People’s Democratic Republic July 2015 Family Planning Situation Analysis 1 Copyright © 2015 United Nations Population Fund Lao PDR Ban Phonsavanh Tai, P.O Box 345 Vientiane Capital Photo Credit: UNFPA LAO PDR / Micka Perrier 2 Family Planning Situation Analysis FOREWORD The United Nations Population Fund - UNFPA, together with other development partners, has been supporting the Ministry of Health to implement its Family Planning programme over the past two decades. This programme has been mainly implemented as part of a larger maternal health programme and has not been specifically assessed, thus highlighting the need for updated an analysis on the situation of Family Planning in the country. In response to this need, UNFPA commissioned analysis with the specific purpose of assessing the current situation of family plan- ning in Lao PDR, so that it would provide an evidence base to inform UNFPA’s support, as well as the Government’s future programming in the area. The analysis is also expected to assist UNFPA in developing a more integrated approach to family planning in the country in line with the global UNFPA Family Planning Strategy “Choices not Chance”, and the International Conference on Pop- ulation and Development (ICPD) Action Plan, which emphasise the broadening of contraceptive choices, improving quality of care, and ensuring reproductive rights. The report outlines the current landscape of Family Planning in the areas of policy, service delivery and resources. It notes the gains that have been made in increasing the contraceptive prevalence rate and in the reduction of maternal mortality and unmet need for family planning, and highlights remaining challenges and disparities by region, age and ethnicity.
