Abstract
This public expenditure review/country
financial accountability assessment (PER/CFAA) examines the
means by which Laos can improve the planning and management
of public resources to establish sustainable economic growth
and reduce poverty. It is meant to support the goals of the
government's National Poverty Eradication Program, as
well as those of the Interim Poverty Reduction Strategy, the
Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility, and the Poverty
Reduction Partnership Agreement. This report is a full
collaborative effort by the Asian Development Bank, the
World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund. The report
is organized in six chapters. Following the introductory
chapter, Chapter 2 focuses on the macroeconomic framework
and the resources envelope. Chapter 3 considers issues of
budget execution and control. Chapter 4 is on budget
planning and preparation. Chapter 5 explores the dimensions
of poverty in Laos and how expenditures planning and
management can support the objective of poverty alleviation.

issues in the context of six major sectors: education,
health, agriculture, energy, transportation, and forestry.
These explore further the means alleviating poverty, as well
as highlighting the cross-cutting issues relating to public
expenditure planning and management.
