Laos - Northern Upland Development Program

The programme aimed to contribute to poverty reduction and sustainable development in the three mountain provinces by improving agricultural production.The NUDP is divided into six components: land and territory management, local governance and village planning, promoting the economic development of poor areas, supporting the emergence of peasant organizations, strengthening the provision of agricultural services by the public sector and action for food security. The NUDP was financed by AFD in a concerted framework with the European Union and Swiss and German cooperation. This system is replicated at the provincial level.
