It provides technical assistance to governments to support the creation of a sound enabling environment for the provision of basic infrastructure services by the private sector. A sound business enabling environment consists of strong institutions, legal systems and rule of law, high standards of public and corporate governance, transparency, competition, protection of investments, enforcement of laws, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Governments are the main generators of private sector projects, but there are obstacles that impede private sector participation. PPIAF can assist to remove some of these obstacles by supporting: Policy formulation, as public authorities decide between public and private provision of infrastructure services The selection of the best mode of delivery of infrastructure services and the risk allocation between the public and the private sectors Building capacity in public authorities to design public-private partnership projects, manage the award process and the service delivery, and partner with private investors Adequate consultation with beneficiaries to share project objectives Legislation and institutional reforms to ensure the sustainability of the investments and the protection of property and contractual rights Support for the negotiations of contracts to ensure adequate risk allocation between public and private parties PPIAF is a multi-donor technical assistance facility, financed by 17 multilateral and bilateral donors: Asian Development Bank, Australia, Austria, Canada, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, France, Germany, International Finance Corporation, Italy, Japan, Millennium Challenge Corporation, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States, and the World Bank. PPIAF funds are untied and grants are provided on a demand-driven basis. 3 | P a g e Acronyms 13N National Route 13, north section 13S National Route 13, south section

  • 330 Forest Utilization by Local People in Sang Thong
    FOREST UTILIZATION BY LOCAL PEOPLE IN SANG THONG DISTRICT Khamvieng Xayabouth* 1. Introduction Lao People’s Democratic Republic is a landlocked country in Southeast Asia, occupying the northern section of the Indochinese peninsula. It is surrounded by China, Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar. Laos is mountainous country, particularly in the north where the peaks rise to 2,500 meters. The high mountains along the eastern border which separate Laos from Vietnam are the source of east- west rivers which cross the country emptying into the Mekong river which flows through the country for almost 500 kilometers and defines the boundary between Laos and both Thailand and Myanmar. The population of Laos is approximately 4.5 million (1996). The majority of this population lives on the fertile plains along the Mekong River. The population growth is estimated to be approximately 2.9 percent a year. Although still a minority, the percent of population living in urban areas is growing steadily and the labor force is estimated to be about 1.5 million. The economy of the country is dominated by agriculture. Agriculture products constitute 60 percent of the gross national product (GNP) with 85-90 percent of the total labor force employed in agricultural activities. The principle agriculture products are rice, wheat, potatoes, and fruits. Industry accounts for about 16 percent of the GNP. The major industrial products are tin, timber, tobacco, textiles and electric power. Laos is divided into 16 provinces, one prefecture and one special region which are further divided into districts. There are totally 112 districts and 11,424 villages (1988).

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.

  • Simulation of Supply/Demand Balance
    The Study on Power Network System Master Plan in Lao PDR Draft Final Report (Stage 3) Simulation of Supply/Demand Balance 17.1. Options for Power Development Plan up to 2030 In order to examine supply reliability and supply-demand balance based on the Lao PDR’s development situation, and considering the development status of the country’s power supply facilities and transmission facilities, a simulation is conducted for 2030. Laos’s power system is examined up to 2030 considering the demand situation in the domestic system and the expansion plans for transmission lines. The northern and central 1 areas are put together to form a Laos NC system, the central 2 a Laos C system, and the southern part an S system. Based on the results of the supply/demand balance simulations, we make recommendations for power plant expansion plans and transmission lines, and for interconnections with neighboring countries. Power Development Plan for Laos’ domestic system up to 2030 1. Power plants for analysis of supply/demand balance in Laos In examining the supply/demand balance for domestic demand in Laos up to 2030, we use the power plan approved by the MEM Minister (see Table 17.1-1).
