About the Lao NPA Network (LNN)
Background The Lao NPA-Network (LNN) is an informal network of Non-Profit Associations (NPAs) involved in development work in the Lao PDR which have been legally registered under several government agencies, such as the Lao Front for National Construction (LFNC), and the Lao Union of Science and Engineering Associations (LUSEA). The LNN was set up in early March 2009, with the objective of sharing information and promoting effective and efficient work practices. This network was called “Mutual Aid Group” of NPAs before. In order to more accurately reflect the goals of the network, its name was changed to Lao NPA-Network.
The LNN is a non-official, non-political network of Lao organizations with the main purpose of enhancing mutual coordination, cooperation and solidarity, sharing information and assistance between network members and for joint capacity building of its members. The network also seeks for partners to implement and fund specific network projects to contribute to poverty eradication in Laos To assist its development, the German Development Service (DED) and Concern Worldwide have supported the capacity development for network members and provided the network with office space.
