EU gives 1.6 million Euros for good governance
EU gives 1.6 million Euros for good governance
(KPL) European Union (EU) is providing 1.6 million Euro for the programme on good governance and to strengthen the rule of law in Laos,
The agreement on this was signed by the Lao government and Delegation of European Commission, at the Ministry of Planning and Investment in Vientiane on 26 January 2009.
Mr Somchit Inthamith, Director General of International Co-operation Department, Ministry of Planning and Investment and Mr Henry Prankerd, Charge’ d’Affaires of the EC Delegation to Laos signed the agreement. Mrs Sonam Rana, Resident Coordinator of UNDP, Laos and other high ranking officials witnessed this event.
This bilateral agreement is part of the EC’s effort to accelerate the development of Laos in governance reform and to further strengthen the legal system of this country. The generous support of EU shows its strong commitment to this area and in this context it is cooperating with other development aid partners to give backing to the Lao government’s work on poverty eradication, in so far as this is linked to governance reform and the legal system.
The programme is for a six year-period and more money than the initial amount will be allocated as the ongoing programme progresses so that the final tally will be 3.3 million Euros. In addition to this, EU believes that by working hand in hand with UNDP and other experienced partners they will be demonstrating an effective and efficient use of resources and better donor coordination.
In 2006, the European Union contributed approximately 1 million Euro to two projects, international law and governance, public administration reform and decentralised service.
