Start date and end date of the reporting period: From 01/07/2009 until 31/12/2011 1.7. Target country(ies) or region(s): Lao PDR, Luang Prabang Province, Viengkham District Food security for Women and Rural Poor in Viengkham District – Final Report 3 1.8. Final beneficiaries & target groups The project works in 25 villages of Viengkham district, nine of them being classified among the 18 most vulnerable villages by the District Authorities. Among these 25 villages, 14 villages are inhabited by Khmu ethnic group people, 6 villages are composed of Lao and Khmu households, 3 are Lao and 2 are Hmong. All of these villages have been moved from their original location at some points of their history. The project aimed to support the population of these 25 villages with various activities: - 508 vulnerable households with direct support from the project with priority to women heading households, and poor farmers with very limited access to land - Population of 10 villages without water supply - 25 Villages Committees Final beneficiaries: The whole village communities in 25 poor villages will finally benefit of the project, as well as women in need of capacity building and financial empowerment, Village Committees, local government and organisations, in particular the DAFO. Direct beneficiaries: In total, the project exceeded the number of direct beneficiary households expected during the whole project (566 households instead of 508). However, the number of women among the trainees remained low (31%) compared to the aiming of the project. In these communities, the women heading households is quite low, still the project managed to work with them, mostly on vegetable gardening activities. As for the others women, many of them, especially in Khmu ethnic group, didn’t dare to enter the trainings proposed by the project. They preferred to send their husband and then learn from him the contents of the trainings. In order to attract more women to the trainings, the project changed its methodology by implementing the trainings in the villages. The DAFO technicians were also encourage to promote women participation to the trainings, using the head of villages influence, talking with the husbands as well as explaining to the women the importance and role of the trainings. Because many of the women are illiterate, they were afraid that they will not understand the contents of the trainings. The technicians reassured them that the training tools used by the project have a lot of pictures and a practical training will be done to help them understand and remember the techniques. Chart n°1: Number of beneficiary households for each agriculture activity Number of households Number of households Number of women Activities expected for 25 trained to date among the trainees villages Pig farming 125 112 13 Poultry farming 250 213 41 Vegetable production 100 31 16 Home-gardening 250 246 115 Rain-fed crops 375 329 51 VVW 50 49 1 TOTAL 1150 980 237 In this chart, the total number of direct beneficiary households expected for the whole project (508) doesn’t match the sum of direct beneficiary households expected per activity. The reason is because some beneficiaries can enter one to three activities upon condition that he/she doesn’t apply to pig AND chicken farming. For example, some beneficiaries were interested in chicken farming and vegetable gardening. In the same time, they can be elected by their peers to be the Veterinary Food security for Women and Rural Poor in Viengkham District – Final Report 4 Village Worker (VVW). In this example, we see that one person can be count three times. As for the rain-fed crop production for animal feed activity, all the beneficiaries in pig and poultry farming were expected to enter this activity. Target villages: The project worked in 25 target villages chosen in October 2009 in close cooperation with the PAFO, the DAFO and the Head of the district. Nine of them are listed among the 18 poorest villages in the district. The District offices selected the villages according to various criteria as the presence of others projects (to avoid overlapping), the needs for water supply systems and for agricultural extensions activities.

  • Destination Management Plan Paek, Khoun and Kham Districts Xieng
    Destination Management Plan For Paek, Khoun and Kham Districts Xieng Khouang Province Lao PDR November 2016 Table of Contents 1. Introduction………………………………………………………………………..3 2. Destination Management……………………………………………………3 3. Destination Management Network…………………………………….4 4. Tourism Sector State of Play……………………………………………….6 5. Key Issues and Opportunities……………………………………………..12 5. Action Plan………………………………………………………………………….14 2 1. Introduction This is the Destination Management Plan (DMP) for Paek, Khoun and Kham Districts within Xieng Khouang Province, Lao PDR. It contains an Action Plan aimed at improving these Districts as destinations for domestic, regional and international visitors. The DMP actions have been discussed and agreed by the Destination Management Network (DMN). This group will oversee implementation of the DMP. The DMN represents government, private sector and community stakeholders. Preparation of the DMP was funded by the NZ – Lao Tourism Activity Support Project (2015 – 2020). The DMP is in two parts. The first part provides background information on Destination Management, the DMN and the current state of play of tourism in Xieng Khouang. The second part presents the DMP Action Plan. 2. Destination Management The main aim of the DMP is to encourage more collaboration between stakeholders. Destination Management involves the Community, Visitor Industry and Government working together to improve destinations. Because the tourism sector is so complex, it requires a lot of stakeholder collaboration to achieve sustainable outcomes. Each group – Community, Government and the Visitor Industry – has their own priorities. The best way to manage a destination is to first understand the priorities of each group. Then it is easier to bring the groups together to explore areas that they can work on collectively (Figure 1).

  • 2-5. the Outlook for Cotton Production and Its Ecological Aptitudes in the Lao P.D.R
    2-5. The Outlook for Cotton Production and its Ecological Aptitudes in the Lao P.D.R. Mitsuru SONOE Summary This report aims at elucidating the present situation of cotton production in Lao P.D.R. (herein after referred to as Laos) and proposing an outlook for the development of cotton production by ecologically adaptive ways. In Laos, indigenous cotton varieties have traditionally been grown not for supplying industrial material, but for self-consumption by households. Traditional cotton varieties grown in Laos are fāi nō֊i and fāi tūn, belonging to the tree cotton family (Gossypium arboretum); fāi nyai, belonging to the upland cotton family (G. hirsutum); and fāi chan, a variety of sea-island cotton (G. barbadense). Fāi tūn has light brown fibres. While fāi nō֊i is the main variety of cotton produced in Laos with comparatively high potential, production of other varieties must increase to make fine yarn as industrial material. Therefore, it should be necessary to increase production of other cotton varieties for this purpose. At the present time, there are two centres of cotton production in Laos: around Luang Phabang, the mountainous area of the northern region, and Savannakhet–Champasak in the Mekong Corridor of the central region. Furthermore, agro-ecology in these two regions is clearly differentiated. In the north, fāi nō֊i has been cultivated chiefly in slash-and-burn fields on slopes, while in the central region, fāi nō֊i is cultivated at the back of paddy fields in the rainy season and fāi nyai at river terraces in the dry season.
