In line with that approach, the GoL has pursued an increased role of public-private-people partnerships (PPPPs). However, the GoL’s ambitions are challenged by: no approved PPPP policy; there are still gaps in legal and institutional frameworks; there is a lack of a dedicated funding mechanisms to fund project development costs; there is no formalized mechanism to provide GoL technical and financial support; the institutional capacity is weak; and protracted approval processes are required to the highest levels of Government. As a result, few PPPP projects have been developed and implemented by GoL agencies. This policy note therefore lays out a path to achieve the long-term objectives of the GoL and the detailed policy actions required to realize its vision for PPPPs. 2021-06-03T15:14:59Z 2021-06-03T15:14:59Z 2021-05-31 Policy Note http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/408231622443144514/Public-Private-People-Partnerships-in-Lao-PDR-Forestry-Sector-Policy-Note http://hdl.handle.net/10986/35651 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Vientiane Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Policy Note East Asia and Pacific Lao People's Democratic Republic
