A national green growth strategy is currently being drafted by the Lao Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) and the National Institute for Economic Research (NIER) with technical assistance from the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI). GGGI has conducted a Green Growth Potential Assessment (GGPA) during 2016/17 to assist the Government of the Lao PDR (GoL) in formulating its green growth strategy and support the national administration in designing and implementing related policies. The GGPA identifies priority areas for green growth interventions and suggests specific recommendations to address those priorities.
