Capacity and Institutional Building

We have professional experience in building the technical and managerial capacity of local government institutions, educational institutes and communities. Capacity building for involved national, provincial and district agencies is an integral part of virtually all of our development projects. Many projects also build local community capabilities through interest group formation and training.

Social and Environmental Safeguards

LCG staff are fully conversant with the Social and Environmental Safeguards Policies of the Government of Lao PDR, the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank Group, and the multi-lateral and bi-lateral agencies that support projects in Laos. LCG has conducted environmental impact assessments, and social census and assets surveys to support resettlement requirements for large infrastructure projects. Working with the diverse indigenous population of Laos has given our staff a comprehensive understanding of ethnic cultures and their importance in development planning.

Social and Environmental Surveys

LCG has extensive experience conducting social and environmental surveys, both as activities of larger projects and as stand-alone projects. To this end, we maintain a roster of trained local staff and consultants that we may call upon for specific survey work, and trainers who both update our experienced survey workers and train new survey personnel according to the demands of each particular job. We also maintain connections with certified laboratories that perform analyses of water, soil and other samples taken in the field during our environmental surveys.

Gender and Development

Our staff are fully conversant with the importance of mainstreaming gender in all development projects, and the importance of making women’s as well as men’s concerns and experiences an integral dimension of the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programs in all political, economic and societal spheres so that women and men benefit equally and inequality is not perpetuated. The ultimate goal is to achieve gender equality.

Sustainable Energy

We have the capability to conduct feasibility studies of sustainable and renewable energy production from identification through to impact. This includes field surveys (water level monitoring, topographical and hydrographical surveys), local costings, and construction supervision.
