Overview
— Coordination platforms The engine room of the Round Table Process The ten Sector Working Groups (SWGs) are the key coordination platforms for each thematic area of development in Lao PDR’s Round Table Process.
They are led by the Government and include development partners, civil society organisations and representatives from the private sector. The groups serve as discussion forums, aim to build consensus on development priorities, and make development cooperation more effective, as set out in the Vientiane Declaration of 2015.
A relevant Ministry chairs each group while development partners, based on their expertise, serve as co-chairs. The Department for International Cooperation in the Ministry of Planning and Investment acts as an overall coordinating agency. The Department also manages the meetings of SWG Chairs and Co-Chairs.
