Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetPromoting responsible investment in agriculture and food systems in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic: Successful experiences and stories from government officials 2022
Also available in:
Agriculture is the cornerstone of Lao People’s Democratic Republic. Increasing responsible investment in agriculture and food systems (RAI) is one of the most efficient strategies to enhance food security and achieve sustainable economic development. This booklet summarizes the work conducted by FAO to enhance the enabling environment for RAI in the country through strengthening the capacities of key actors and enhancing multi-stakeholder dialogue among the government, civil society organizations and the private sector. It also provides insight of the progress made and the challenges that remain through the stories of two government officials who participated in the activities conducted by FAO and its partners. This work has been done under the project "Enhancing the enabling environment for responsible investment in agriculture and food systems" funded by the Federal Government of Germany. -
BookletHand-In-Hand Initiative Lao People’s Democratic Republic concept note
Unlocking the potential of agriculture to eradicate poverty and malnutrition, revised version
2022Also available in:
No results found.The Hand-in-Hand Initiative (HHI) was launched by the Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), QU Dongyu, to help tackle the slow and negative trends in achieving the SDG targets, in particular the persistence of extreme poverty, hunger and malnutrition. The evidence-based, country-led and country-owned Initiative seeks to accelerate the agricultural transformation and sustainable rural development and brings an innovative approach to partnering through match-making. Countries and their partners are empowered through sophisticated data sharing and model-based analytics to improve the targeting of policies, innovation and investment. HIHI is an inclusive process that aims to build partnerships, alliances and synergies among public and private actors, as well as the international development partners for the goals of eradicating poverty and hunger and reducing inequalities. It will channel the required resources – technical, financial, institutional and human capital – to where they are needed the most and where the potential for reaching the SDG 1, SDG 2 and SDG 10 targets is greatest. On the occasion of the FAO Director-General’s visit to Lao PDR in March 2020, the HIHI was discussed as an opportunity to address key impediments to achieving the SDG1, SDG2 and SDG10. The Government of Lao PDR (GoL) suggested the HIHI be implemented in the emerging economic corridor along the Lao-China railway line. This key national infrastructure connects the country with the world’s largest market, China and other countries in ASEAN – the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. HIHI enhances the capacity of previously isolated communities to effectively and sustainably take advantage of the emerging opportunities afforded by the railway. This concept note highlights a general approach and process to address key impediments to achieving SDG 1, 2 and 10 targets in Lao PDR. It intends to generate support, partnership and engagement from a wide range of new and traditional partners such as the private sector, international agencies, resource partners and the target communities themselves. The proposed approach and framework are not a blueprint but rather a flexible mechanism that will adapt to emerging opportunities and partnerships, building synergies with relevant ongoing and planned initiatives.` -
