Northern Greater Mekong Subregion Transport Network Improvement Project

The project demonstrated that the upgrading of national roads that connect the poorer districts of the Lao PDR is a viable means of addressing accessibility to markets and services for poor rural districts. The project provides an important link in the GMS (Greater Mekong Subregion) transport corridors connecting northern Thailand, northern Viet Nam, and the southern provinces of the PRC (People's Republic of China). The project will enhance subregional connections between the northern Lao PDR and surrounding countries, as well as economic growth and poverty reduction within the country.project cycle stage: Operation
