Development partners must hold Lao Government accountable: NGO official
Development partners must hold the government of Laos accountable to commitments it has made at a recurring dialogue on aid strategy to ensure the meetings produce results, an international nongovernmental organization said ahead of a new round of talks scheduled for next week.
The government and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will host the 12th High Level Round Table Meeting on 27 November in the capital Vientiane with a focus on implementing a four-year socio-economic plan that will enable Laos to graduate from “Least Developed Country” status by 2020.
More than 300 delegates from the Lao government, as well as development partners from the U.N., donor governments, international NGOs, non-profit organizations and representatives from the private sector, are expected to attend.
