The WBG CPF aims at supportingLasting Accessible Opportunities for all including sustained green growth, improved access to humanand infrastructure services, and opportunities for all. The previous Country Partnership Strategy (CPS)2012-2016 built a solid foundation and a strong relationship with the Government of Lao PDR (GOL). The CPF supports the GOL's 8th National Socio-Economic Development Plan (NSEDP) for2016-2020. The 8th NSEDP introduces policies intended to put Lao PDR on a path to reduce povertyand promote shared prosperity in a sustainable manner, based on green growth principles. Lao PDR'sdevelopment has advanced greatly in the last two decades, although significant challenges remain.Incomes have risen, poverty has declined, access to several key public services has improved and asa result Lao PDR met a number of its Millennium Development Goals. With GDP growth averaging8 percent per year since 2000, Lao PDR today is a lower-middle income country with a GNI percapita of around US$1,740 in 2015. However, growth has been driven mainly by exploitation of itsabundant natural resources and has been less inclusive, resilient, and sustainable than for regional comparators. Widespread malnutrition and overall low consumption levels highlight the challenges that remain for the basic well-being of the country. 2017-06-14T20:25:01Z 2017-06-14T20:25:01Z 2017-03-01 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/381061497445645649/main-report http://hdl.handle.net/10986/27147 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Country Assistance Strategy Document East Asia and Pacific Lao People's Democratic Republic
