STATEMENT BY THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Khammouane Development Project (KDP/the Project) is highly complementary to Nam Theun 2 (NT2)related activities, which are underwritten by a major commitment on the part of the Government of LaoPeople's Democratic Republic (PDR) and the International Development Association (IDA). With itsstrong emphasis on capacity building and complementary investments, the proposed Project wouldensure that NT2 upstream and downstream compensatory activities are followed up by measures thatenhance institutional sustainability and establish a provincial level public sector framework that is able todeliver the quality goods and services in the long term. The Project moreover, will provide opportunities-beyond those already envisaged- to profit from the downstream irrigation potentially generated by theNT2 facility.

Considerable experience of building capacity in variety of areas across the country has brought amore systematic and cross-cutting approach to building capacity at the provincial level. These areasinclude bottom-up planning systems, linking planning and budgeting processes, strengthening publicfinancial management, improving the investment climate and strengthening the monitoring andevaluation systems.

The Project will make substantial contribution to: (i) sustaining the growth, (ii) improving socialoutcome, (iii) strategic approach to capacity development and partnership, and (iv) supporting NT2implementation.

The Project is financed by an International Development Association (the Association) Grant ofSpecial Drawing Rights (SDR) 5,600,000 (USD 9,000,000 equivalent) signed on 25 July 2008 underfinancing agreement for grant no. IDA HA404-LA (the financing agreement).

Khammouane Province has received an Additional Financing (AF)under grant number H756-LAamounting to USD8.5 million. The additional grant would mainly finance the costs associated withscaling up the original project to enhance impact.

This new component (which would scale-up activities originally implemented underComponent 1) is dedicated to rural livelihoods and agricultural development activities and expandscoverage of the poorest villages. To facilitate implementation and expand capacity building,responding to the request of the province, responsibility for Component 3 would be assigned to theProvincial Agricultural and Forestry Office (PAFO) and the District Agricultural and Forestry Offices(DAFOs).

The KDP AF has become effective on 4 April 2012, and the duration of the implementation period isuntil 31 March 2016. The project closure date will be on 31 March 2016
