បោះពុម្ពផ្សាយដោយ៖ Open Development Laos

Most of the extreme poor Laos are ethnic minorities living in rural and upland districts, who depend on local ecological resources for cash income and food.

Expanding transport infrastructure can no doubt be very important for effective poverty reduction, however, this article questions the economic and social benefits of two high-speed rail projects in a country like Laos.
