Strategy

ADB's new country partnership strategy (CPS), 2012–2016, for the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) is anchored on the country's Seventh National Socio-Economic Development Plan, 2011–2015. The strategic focus of the CPS is shaped by the country's specific requirements and capabilities. It is designed to help the government diversify the economy in a sustainable inclusive manner through agriculture and natural resources, education, energy, urban development, and public sector management.
