Our Focus
We are a local Lao Non Profit Organisation, NPO, registered under the Prime Minister's Office in Laos, working widely in renewable energy and the local partner for many organisations. With indoor air quality we are active with various ICS programs in Laos, also we are actively researching new and innovative approaches to reducing chronic indoor air pollution in Laos appropriate to the Lao local cultural context. We are also working actively to help Laos develop in a low carbon way.
Our Experience And Interest In The Four PCIA Central Focus Areas
With an urbanisation rate of only around 30%, LIRE very often works necessarily with small rural communities with limited access to services. We usually work with hill tribe communities and technology transfer to people with limited education levels and in close cooperation with government agencies.
We actively evaluate and document the market development in Lao-PDR.
We are eager to bring in international best practice to Laos, verify it works in the Lao context, and distribute it widely throughout Laos.
We have actively participated in Monitoring and Evaluation on a very wide range of studies.
