tender Background

About the Funding Agency

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), as it is known in English, operates in about 170 countries and territories with the goal of achieving the eradication of poverty and the reduction of inequalities and exclusion. The UNDP also helps countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities and build resilience in order to sustain development results.

UNDP focuses on helping countries build and share solutions in three main areas: sustainable development, democratic governance and peacebuilding, and climate and natural disaster resilience. 

The annual Human Development Report, commissioned by the  UNDP, focuses the global debate on key development issues, providing new measurement tools, innovative analysis and often controversial policy proposals. The global Report's analytical framework and inclusive approach carry over into regional, national and local Human Development Reports, also supported by the UNDP.

Locations

Laos

Laos prioritises infrastructure projects such as railways, roads, and hydropower to transform from a landlocked country into a regional transit hub in Southeast Asia. Investments enhance trade connectivity, energy exports, and economic diversification beyond agriculture. Financing largely comes from public funds, concessional loans, and foreign partners, notably China under Belt and Road initiatives. Debt sustainability, regulatory capacity, and environmental management remain key constraints for long-term infrastructure development.
