Our Work on the Sustainable Development Goals in Lao PDR
How the UN is supporting The Sustainable Development Goals in Lao PDR
The UN and its partners in Lao PDR are working towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals: 18 interconnected and ambitious Goals which address the major development priorities and challenges faced by people in Lao PDR and around the world, including the Lao PDR’s nationally adopted SDG18 on ‘Lives Safe from UXO’.
The Sustainable Development Goals in Lao PDR
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a global call to action to end poverty, protect the earth’s environment and climate, and ensure that people everywhere can enjoy peace and prosperity. In addition to 17 global goals, in 2016 the Government of Lao PDR has formally launched the national SDG18, ‘Lives Safe from UXO’ (unexploded ordnance), in the presence of the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. As UXO remains an issue affecting national development in multiple dimensions, Lao PDR's output under the SDG18 contributes to the national outcomes under all the other SDGs. On the present map, some of the activities attributed to Vientiane are those which are carried out across the whole country.

Where is the money going? How the UN contributes to the SDGs
The graph below provides a visual representation of required and available resources, as well as expenditure, that contribute to SDGs.

This visual can be filtered by required resources, available resources and expenditure.
