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.

  • E-Directory LAO-CSO Eng.Pdf
    PREFACE With the need for better connected and coordinated actions among development stakeholders who are implementing development projects in Laos, this directory aims to provide stakeholders with access to information about the availability of Civil Society Organisations in Laos. It has been collected and developed to assist Non Profit Associations, International Non-Governmental Organizations, Donors, GoL and other stakeholders in Laos in their search for appropriate information and implementing partners. We hope that this publication can also assist development actors in building new, or strengthening existing relationship in support of their common development goals. This is the third version of the Directory of Lao CSOs produced following a widespread demand. The design has been adapted in response to feedback from the users of previous versions. Version three is more concise and the book is smaller in size to be handier to carry. All CSOs known to the Lao CSO Network have been invited to have their information included. Some organisations have chosen not to be included. For more information on a specific organisation, we invite you to contact directly the management team of the organisation. On-going and regular update of CSO information can be found though visiting the website and the PDF document can be free download on the website (www.laocs-kis.org). We would like to thank French Embassy for providing the necessary financial support for this publication. Our warm thanks to Lao CSOs Network for the data collection work and to CSOs who provided their organisational information for this directory. With further demand and continued input from the CSO community we hope to develop and expand this collection of information further in the future.
