(KPL) The World Bank (WB) and the European Union (EU) have given USD
14.7 million to the Lao government for food security improvement and
running a public survey on the seventh national socio-economic
development plan.
An agreement on the grant assistance was signed at the Ministry of
Finance on June 4, between Deputy Minister of Finance, Mme Viengthong
Siphandone, and WB Country Director for South East Asia, Ms Annette
Dixon, at the witness of Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Forestry and
relevant officials of parties concerned. The grant finance includes USD
4.6 million from the EU and the rest from the World Bank. “About

The grant will help Laos improve the food security of upland households

The project will be carried out by the Ministry of Agriculture and
Forestry in partnership with the Poverty Reduction Fund, and will run in

Savannakhet, Champassak, Saravane and Attapeu provinces.
“The project aims to further enhance rural productivity in Laos by
strengthening the capacity of farmer groups and villagers,” said WB
Country Manager for Laos, Patchamuthu Illangovan.
