38、k.LocationsCountryFirst Administrative DivisionLocationPlannedActualCommentsLao PDRNationwidexI. STRATEGIC CONTEXT A. Country Context1. With a Gross National Income per capita of US$1,460 in 2013, Using Atlas method. up from US$280 in 2000, the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) is undergoing

39、 a sustained economic expansion. The country is richly endowed with natural resourcesespecially land, forestry, water, mineralsand is in the midst of a fast growing region. This combination of comparative advantages, along with targeted policies to utilize them, has yielded an average real Gross Dom

40、estic Product (GDP) growth rate officially estimated at close to 7.5 percent per year for the past 15 years, moving Lao PDR from lower-income to lower middle-income status. Despite these positive long-term trends in growth, the current macroeconomic situation invites some caution in the short term.

41、Growth is projected to moderate slightly from 8.1 percent in 2013 to 7.5 percent in 2014. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2012/13, the fiscal deficit widened markedly due mainly to large increases in public sector wages and benefits. As a consequence, slower growth in public spending is expected in the medium t

42、erm.2. Despite impressive growth, Lao PDR is still one of the poorest countries in Southeast Asia. The country remains in Least Developed Country status and reducing poverty remains a high priority. The preliminary analysis of the most recent household survey The fifth Laos Expenditure and Consumpti

43、on Survey in 2012/13. The survey has been carried out every five years. The data for the survey just became available at the time of the CPSPR preparation therefore, the analysis presented is still preliminary. shows that the national poverty headcount halved from 46 percent in 1992/93 to 23 percent

44、 in 2012/13. Despite such decline, the poverty rate in rural areas, where nearly three-fourths of the countrys 6.7 million people live, is still high (28.6 percent) almost three times the rate in urban areas (10 percent). Poverty rates have declined in most provinces over the last five years, but it

45、 has increased in others, especially in the southern region. Substantial disparities remain across ethno-linguistic groups, with the Lao-Tai group having much lower poverty rates (15 percent) than the other three groups (an average of close to 40 percent). 3. Sustaining inclusive growth and accelera

46、ting poverty reduction hinges partly on achieving significant improvements in access and quality of education, since the low skills of the labor force are slowing down economic transformation and preventing large segments of the population from benefiting from economic growth. There is evidence that

47、 the low level of basic skills in the adult population (starting with literacy) is constraining the move of workers from subsistence agriculture to more productive sectors and jobs, Lao Development Report, 2014, World Bank thus slowing down economic growth and poverty reduction. The poor are much mo

48、re likely to be illiterate (30 percent of poor are illiterate versus 13 percent of non-poor), especially poor women (42 percent of them are illiterate), which prevents them from accessing the higher productivity and wage jobs that are opening up in non-agricultural sectors. This circle of poverty is

49、 unlikely to break if access to education and quality of service provision does not improve for the poor. Almost one fourth of poor primary school aged children are not enrolled in school. More importantly, their progress over the last five years has been slower than for the non-poor, thus widening

50、the gap in educational achievement. Improving access to and quality of education for the poor and in rural areas is, thus, fundamental for reducing poverty and sharing economic prosperity more widely. B. Sectoral and Institutional Context4. Lao PDR has recognized education as a fundamental priority

51、in its medium and long-term development plan and is taking important steps to implement a coherent sector strategy. Improving access to and quality of education are key goals of the 7th National Social and Economic Development Plan (20112015) which centered around achieving the Millennium Developmen

52、t Goals (MDGs) by 2015 and graduating from Least Developed Country status by 2020. These goals are formalized in the Education Sector Development Plan (ESDP) 20112015, which serves as the overarching framework for sector policies and guides both government policies and programs and development partn

53、ers support. The ESDP and its policy planning matrix consist of three pillars: (i) expanding equitable access; (ii) improving quality and relevance; and (iii) strengthening planning and management, and outlining a detailed sector plan of 19 key policies and 96 strategies with targets, costing, legis

54、lative requirements and central level responsibilities, based on a set of goals, policy directions and objectives. The Global Partnership for Education (GPE) has played a vital role in supporting the implementation of the ESDP, especially through the “Education for All Fast Track Initiative (EFA-FTI

55、) Catalytic Fund” program. Henceforth referred to as “EFA-FTI program”. It was co-financed by GPE (US$30 million) and Australia (AUD 20.26 million). The World Bank-financed “Second Education Development Project/Additional Financing” (US$15.5 million) was implemented in parallel and supported similar activities. The GPE also support
