With a long-term, landscape-based and inclusive approach to supporting local communities, RECOFTC Lao PDR has been laying the groundwork and enhancing the capacity for community forestry in the country since 1998.

Working with government, civil society, community and other stakeholders, we help strengthen the implementation of sustainable landscape management in Lao PDR. Our work helps communities secure land and resource rights, address deforestation, find alternative livelihoods and foster gender equality.
