(1) The Tonle Sap Poverty Reduction and Smallholder Development Project aims to improve food security and reduce poverty in Cambodia through 2020. (2) It has a budget of $55.56 million and operates in 5 provinces, supporting over 30,000 beneficiaries through activities like infrastructure development, agricultural training, and access to credit. (3) The project's key components include commune development through grants for local infrastructure, increasing agricultural productivity and diversification through training, market access, and seed production, and effective management.
This document discusses Cambodia's Country Strategic Opportunities Program (COSOP) for rural development funding from the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). It outlines two strategic objectives: 1) enabling smallholders to take advantage of market opportunities, and 2) increasing rural households' resilience to climate and other shocks. It provides outcome and milestone indicators to measure progress towards these objectives. The COSOP is aligned with Cambodia's national strategies on agriculture, rural development, climate change, and poverty reduction. It aims to support improved agricultural productivity, market access, infrastructure, and climate change adaptation.
This document provides an overview and summary of Lao PDR's program with IFAD from 2005-2020. It highlights key economic indicators and trends in Laos such as a decreasing poverty rate and increasing GNI per capita. Main projects funded by IFAD are summarized, including objectives, target groups, budgets, and components. Performance of the IFAD portfolio in Laos from 2011-2015 is assessed based on criteria such as implementation progress, M&E, gender focus, poverty focus, and sustainability. General issues identified include capacity building, coordination, delivering targets, procurement, and use of M&E data. Areas for improvement include planning and implementation speed/efficiency as well as knowledge management.
Class without frontiers. A small presentation of Laos to students grade 7 in Porto.
The students are very excited to learn about Laos, one of a peaceful country in Asia. A lot of questions were asked and exchanged, thus the presentation took longer than planned but of cause it was very impressive work.
Regional CA project proposal in degraded annual cropping systems areas in Sou...Joanna Hicks
The document proposes a project to improve farmer incomes in degraded areas of Laos, Vietnam, and China (Yunnan) using conservation agriculture. It provides an overview of the degraded lands in the regions and experiences with CA. CA techniques introduced include no-tillage, direct seeding, crop residue management, cover crops, and forage integration into crop rotations to improve soils and support livestock. The document argues CA can increase yields, incomes, and sustainability over traditional practices in the degraded annual cropping systems of Southeast Asia.
The document provides information about Laos. It discusses that Laos is a socialist republic located in Southeast Asia, consisting of over 160 ethnic groups. It notes key facts about Laos such as its capital and official language being Vientiane and Lao, respectively. Additionally, the summary discusses Laos' strategy of generating hydropower through its rivers to sell to neighboring countries for economic development.

We Are Social’s Guide to Social, Digital and Mobile in Laos (2nd Edition, Oct...We Are Social Singapore
The document provides an overview of social media, internet, and mobile phone usage in Laos as of late 2012. It notes that Laos has a population of around 6.6 million people, with 8% using the internet and 4% on social media. Mobile phone penetration is much higher at 83%. Facebook is the most popular social network in Laos, with over 268,000 users, though this only represents 4% of the population. Mobile phones are the primary way Laotians access the internet, with 95% being mobile-only users and just 0.5% having broadband subscriptions.
LNTA outsourced their tourism plans and projects to TEAMWORKZ to implement. TEAMWORKZ promotes responsible tourism and embedding those principles in their operations. They highlight attractions across Laos like Luang Prabang, Si Phan Don, Wat Phu Champasak and more. They discuss activities, accommodations and positioning Laos as exceptional and mysterious. TEAMWORKZ aims to improve livelihoods through community-based tourism projects like "Fair Trek" and help ethnic minorities benefit from tourism. Their goal is for travelers to "Feel Good" through experiences in Laos.
Laos is a landlocked country in Southeast Asia, with a population of 6.4 million people who are mostly Buddhist. The country has ethnic diversity, with the dominant Lao Loum group as well as Lao Theung and Lao Soung. Traditional Lao architecture includes wooden houses and temples. Common Lao foods include sticky rice, papaya salad, and bamboo soup, and drinks include Beer Lao. Lao culture values friendship, love, peace and harmony.
USAID developed a plan to improve Laos' infrastructure by building roads, improving airports, and constructing a railway system. The $25 billion project would create jobs and boost trade over 15 years. Improving transportation could increase development, economic opportunities, and access to healthcare in one of Asia's poorest countries. Regular evaluations will assess the project's success in transforming Laos.
1) Laos has a long history dating back to ancient kingdoms. In the 14th century, King Fa Ngum united various principalities to form the powerful Kingdom of Lan Xang.
2) Lan Xang dominated the region for several centuries but declined due to internal conflicts and invasions from neighboring powers such as Vietnam and Burma.
3) Laos eventually split into three separate kingdoms and fell under the influence of Thailand and France, which colonized Laos in the late 19th century. Laos gained independence from France in 1953 after the First Indochina War.

Laos is a landlocked country in Southeast Asia, slightly larger than Utah, with a population of around 6.8 million people. The capital and largest city is Vientiane. Laos has experienced a complex political history including periods of rule under the French and involvement in the Vietnam War. It is now a communist state led by a president and central committee, with Buddhism as the dominant religion. The economy relies on agriculture and exports of commodities like gold, copper, and coffee.
This presentation is on Laos and aim is to let you know whether you should or shouldn't invest in Laos. This presentation includes the political, economical and social overview of Laos. A few slides are expressed through images.
Laos is a landlocked country in Southeast Asia surrounded by China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Myanmar. The Mekong River flows through the mountainous country. Theravada Buddhism is the dominant religion and strongly influences Lao culture. The Lao people live in extended family groups and value social harmony. Their architecture, arts, and way of life blend Theravada Buddhist traditions with French colonial influences.
The document provides an overview of Southeast Asian history and culture. It discusses how the Khmer Empire influenced Cambodia and surrounding regions. It also explains how India and China impacted Southeast Asian religions and Vietnam. European colonialism in the 1500s divided the region until independence movements in the 1900s. The Vietnam War involved the US supporting South Vietnam against Communist North Vietnam and their allies in Cambodia and Laos. The brutal Khmer Rouge regime killed over a million Cambodians before being defeated.

1. Say Thank You. A Lot!
by Doc Seeds | on April 11, 2013
It seems as though two of the most underused words these days are the words
“thank” and“you.” I try to make it a point to give thanks daily on a regular basis for all
good things that I encounter. I am not perfect, but I am trying to be the best I can be.
There seems to be no shortage of complaints in the world. Some times it is
everywhere we turn, as if there is no escape.
Why not make the same true for the phrase “thank you!” It has to be genuine, though.
It can’t be something that is said with no sincerity backing it.
I have a question for you. What do most people do when they have a Bad experience
at a restaurant? They voice a complaint, right?
I have another question for you. What do the majority of people do when they have
anEXCEPTIONAL experience? Nothing! More times than not, they do nothing more
than what they would normally do under any other Ordinary experience.
I like to pay nice tips for good service. When the service is exceptional I make it a
point to, not only tell the person “thank you” for the good service, but also to let the
manager know that the service provided is much appreciated! Of course, the nice tip
goes without saying.
In this scenario, I made the wait staff, the manager and all those who are in my party
feel good! A few words just changed a pleasant evening into a spectacular one!
The same thing can apply anywhere. Whenever I stop for gas or at a convenience
store, regardless of how the employees are, I make it a point to say “thank you.”
Now, I’m no different than anyone else. I have my bad days too.
I have had situations to where I didn’t feel like extending any courtesies as the worker
behind the counter didn’t seem very nice or friendly. On other times, it didn’t matter
what the worker was like.
Many times to my surprise, after I have extended my thanks, they smiled and returned
2. the courtesy! Even if they don’t acknowledge it, I feel better just simply by offering.
It all has to start somewhere. Why not let it start from within!
As my father served 21 years in the Air Force, I have always had the greatest respect
for the men and women in the Armed Forces. It wasn’t until my son joined the Army
and was deployed to Afghanistan that I truly came to appreciate the real sacrifice
that these fine men and women make on our behalf.
I now always try to make it a point to say “thank you for your service” to every soldier
I meet. If I am able, I pay for their meal.
It’s not the cost of the meal that means so much to them, it’s the act of kindness that
shows your appreciation that touches them the most. While talk can be cheap, even a
simple“thank you” goes a long way towards making them feel appreciated.
These are just a couple of examples on how we can show our appreciation to others.
There are thousands more, for sure.
What ways can you think of to show your appreciation and spread good will towards
others? I challenge you to put into action at least one of those each day.
“Thank You” for reading my article!
