This document outlines the current state of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) practices in Lao PDR, highlighting the challenges faced in the application of EIA to public investment projects. It discusses the existing regulations, the reasons for their limited effectiveness, and actions taken by the Committee for Planning and Investment (CPI) to improve adherence to EIA protocols. Key improvements, such as developing new approval procedures and enhancing training for government officials, aim to strengthen environmental governance and ensure that all projects meet necessary environmental standards.

  5. 2. Why EIA is not fully applied to public investment projects in Lao PDR? • CPI and DPI who are in charge of approval of domestic projects, are not familiar with EIA process. • The regulation on public investment No. 918 defines the procedure of domestic projects’ approval and environment considerations, but does not specifically mention EIA. • EIA regulation is less effective than a decree.
