The Government of Lao PDR, together with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the United Nations Resident Coordinator’s Office (UNRCO), today launched the Herbarium of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) in Lao PDR, a new knowledge product highlighting the critical role of biodiversity in supporting nutrition, livelihoods, resilience and rural economies.

Today, a special handover ceremony was held at Mittaphab Hospital to officially transfer newly completed medical facilities, critical safety infrastructure, and improved living conditions to the hospital administration, staff, and patients. Funded by the Russian Federation and implemented by UNOPS in partnership with the Ministry of Health of Lao PDR, this project marks a transformative leap forward for healthcare delivery in Vientiane.
