What happens in Lao?

Preparing for investment by assessing delivery and scoping for opportunities

For this work, we assessed the rural WASH sector in Lao People's Democratic Republic, looking at existing service delivery models and its challenges, and scoped out opportunities for programme design and links to existing programmes

Focus areas

In readiness for a WASH programme costing around 25 million USD, we conducted a pre-scoping study of the rural WASH sector in Lao People’s Democratic Republic. We assessed critical sector information, and combined desk research and information from interviews with key players, with a focus on four areas:

  • Institutional set-up, legislative framework, sector financing, and sector monitoring
  • Existing service delivery models for rural and urban water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in schools
  • Opportunities for programme design and linkages to existing World Bank/ Water and Sanitation Program initiatives
  • Opportunities for programme design and links to existing World Bank/ Water and Sanitation Program initiatives
  • Next steps and areas for further investigation

The services we provided included:

  • a report on the WASH sector in Lao People’s Democratic Republic and the key challenges
  • a report on the costs and financing of Lao People’s Democratic Republic’s WASH sector
  • a final report entitled: Lao Sector Assessment: Rural Water Supply, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) including Institutional WASH
