Profile on Environmental and Social Considerations in Lao PDR

In 2010, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) announced its new JICA guidelines for environmental and social considerations. The guidelines present JICAs objectives and goals related to environmental and social considerations. The new guidelines address some key points, including the strengthening of the requirements for resettlement, the considerations for indigenous peoples, and information disclosure. According to JICAs Assistance Policy, the Official Development Assistance in Lao PDR should help promote socio-economic development and narrow the development gap with other countries in the region through projects in sectors such as economic and social infrastructure, agriculture, forest conservation, and healthcare services. In order to guarantee that these projects follow JICAs guidelines and local regulations, a country profile for environmental and social considerations in Lao PDR was prepared. The profile is expected to serve as a source of information that can be used to integrate environmental and social considerations into the design of future projects in Lao PDR.
