The Inter-Agency Contingency Plan (IACP) Lao PDR 2023 aims to support the government in leading an efficient, timely, and coordinated response to minimize the impact of natural disasters on affected communities. The plan emphasizes clear roles and responsibilities for all members of the Lao Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC), recognizing the government's primary role in disaster management. The IACP also acknowledges the role of the IASC in strengthening national emergency preparedness and response structures and capabilities. The Standard Operating Procedures outlined in this plan are aimed at guiding a rapid-onset disaster response based on the clearly outlined roles and responsibilities of key actors.
