Lao PDR is a poorly-developed country with a large rural population which relies almost exclusively on agricultural production systems as their means of livelihood. Even though surface water is abundant, Lao PDR is still vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate variability and climate change. This project’s goal is to build human and institutional capacity in-country and resilience in agricultural productivity through sustainable use of groundwater for local farmers on the Vientiane Plain, Lao PDR.
