Laos has limited access to drinking water supply. Our Water Operator Partnership with the frontrunner in Laos, the Provincial Public Water Utility in Luang Namtha Province, aims to come towards financial, technical and operational resilience of public water utilities in Laos PDR.

Our impact

We contribute to improved access to drinking water for 85,000 people in Luang Namhta and 1 million people in Laos.

Activities

  • Improved access to safely managed sanitation services
  • Integrated water resources management through cooperation with stakeholders in the field of drinking water supply, wastewater treatment and (groundwater and surface) water quality
  • Improved efficiency of water use
  • In regards to climate change, we focus on integrated mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning into planning and operations.
