ADB support to the Lao PDR continues to focus on infrastructure and private sector development, enhanced human development, sustainable natural resource management, and climate resilience.
Private sector capital needs to be mobilized to bridge the climate financing gap. This requires new innovative approaches to attract private sector investment in green projects.
Climate change is an existential threat, but it also represents a massive opportunity for Southeast Asia to pursue low-carbon economic growth.
ADB is deploying nature-based solutions to help developing member countries address climate change risks while protecting the environment and ensuring benefits for people.
ADB and Monsoon Wind Power Company Limited signed a $682.55 million nonrecourse project financing package to build a 600-megawatt wind power plant in Sekong and Attapeu provinces in the southern region of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic.
The Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) completed a voluntary national review of progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The country is on track for achieving SDGs on clean water and sanitation, decent work and economic growth, and responsible consumption and production. Progress on water supply and sanitation is particularly noteworthy, with ADB supporting water supply connections to 2% of households across the country. Progress on the remaining 14 SDGs has been more moderate. The Government of the Lao PDR is prioritizing education, health, and social protection in its 9th National Socio-Economic Development Plan (NSEDP) as part of its strategy to graduate from the United Nation’s Least Developed Country category by 2026.
