description |
Natural capital in Lao PDR is a major
source of wealth for the country and becomes even more
strategic in times of economic stress. While forest products
directly benefit vulnerable rural communities, ecosystem
services from forests support key economic sectors such as
energy, agriculture, industry, and tourism. Forests and
downstream industries also offer important job and
livelihood opportunities in rural areas in Lao PDR that can
be expanded. This country forest note provides an upstream
analysis of the status of forests as well as investments and
policies relevant to the forest sector in the Lao People’s
Demographic Republic. The analysis looks at forests in a
programmatic and cross-sectoral manner to strategically
position the World Bank Group to support the country in
delivering on forest-relevant interventions. |
