Urban environmental sanitation improvements in Vientiane
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:11 authored by Bounchanh KeosithammaVientiane is the largest city and capital of Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR). The total population in Vientiane
is estimated around 331,000, with population density around 134 persons per km2. The city is lacking a proper sanitation
network, which is seriously threatening the health situation of the population due to discharge of wastewater into low-land
areas. Therefore, the Department of Communication, Transport, Post and Construction (DCTPC) under Vientiane Capital
City, initiated an Urban Environmental Sanitation Project for the improvement of the Vientiane urban environment, supported
by Danish International Development Agency (Danida). This paper briefly highlights the basic objectives, major
accomplishments and learning from this on-going project.
