Building on the strengths of the past with ADRA Lao’s extensive experience over the past 30 years, our program strategy focuses on two primary thematic sectors: health and nutrition; and agriculture and livelihoods. Other areas of expertise and interest include education and tobacco control, while gender, social inclusion, climate change adaptation, and disaster risk reduction and management are cross-cutting across all areas of our work. We aim to strengthen multi-sector-wide initiatives and services through developing and building on our existing effective partnerships with government counterparts, stakeholders and local civil society organizations and collaborating with development partners.
