Lao Upland Initiative: Sector Working Group on Agriculture and Rural Development (SWG-ARD)

Are the Lao Uplands on the right path… towards a sustainable development?

In the frame of EFICAS project, the Lao Upland Initiative (LUI) is a knowledge capitalization process initiated in November 2017 with the following objectives:

  • Take stock of knowledge about green growth in the Lao Uplands: opportunities and challenges
  • Develop a common vision for the future that would feed policy processes (new policy department of MAF)
  • Provide guidance to strategic planning of different institutions at MAF including new department on policies and other ministries

The main results of this knowledge capitalisation process were presented on the 18th of June 2018 at the occasion of the Sector Working Group on Agriculture and Rural Development (SWG-ARD) chaired by Lao MAF in partnership with the French Embassy and the FAO.

Seven posters and one brief were presented and are available here.
