Lao People's Democratic Republic: Northern Community-Managed Irrigation Sector Project
The Lao People's Democratic Republic has designated agriculture and forestry a key sector since 1988, and made significant investments in order to shift from a subsistence economy to a market-oriented economy. Food security has been a priority and the lack of community-based irrigation facilities was seen as a major constraint on agricultural development. The government has pursued the intensification and expansion of community-managed irrigation systems and dry season irrigation as a means of boosting agricultural productivity.
