The Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR/Laos) is one of the least developed countries in the world, despite increased economic growth over the last few years. The Lao PDR is also the country most badly affected by cluster bombs. Handicap International began its activities in the country in 1996, focusing on the fight against unexploded ordnance. In 2010, in addition to this, Handicap International also worked on other issues, such as community-based rehabilitation, road accident prevention, support for associations for people with disabilities, maternal and infant health and social and economic integration for people with disabilities.
In 2011, Handicap International will continue to work hard on both improving the inclusion of people with disabilities in society and on the fight against UXO. We will also be evaluating our most recent projects in order to strengthen and adapt them.
