Indian Donor visited LIEDC

(KPL) Representatives from the Swiss Agency for Cooperation and Development (SDC), the European Union (EU) Delegation to the Lao PDR, the Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency (LuxDev), and the German Development Cooperation Agency (GIZ), together with government officials recently embarked on a joint visit to Khammuan province, to witness first-hand the impact of Team Europe’s development projects on the ground. The three-day itinerary focused on the Local Development Programme (LDP) implemented by LuxDev and the Citizen Engagement for Good Governance, Accountability and the Rule of Law (CEGGA) programme implemented by GIZ. In Nammala village, Mahaxay district, a target village under the LDP, the delegation had the privilege to meet with the Village Development Committee (VDC). From improved infrastructure to strengthened livelihoods, the VDC members openly shared their priorities for community development. This insightful exchange allowed participants to understand the community’s pressing needs and aspirations for the future, and allowed implementing partners to reflect on ways to enhance effective and efficient implementation.
