One good thing related to the 7th NSEDP is the process of drafting is different from other previous years. The goverment of Laos opened for comments, in other words, it is more participatory from other development partners.
As seen, the ministry of planning and investment (MPI) shared the table of content of the 7th NSEDP and called for comments from the development partners. On top of that, the ministry of planning and investment also shared the executive summary of the 7th NSEDP with development partners in order to get comments from each parties.
Based on that session, lots of relevant parties both provided comments verbal and written paper to the ministry of planning and investment. This is a great exercise and great way!
Meaning that the government of Laos more opened to others than in the past which means drafting the 7th NSEDP is based on the participatory approach. More importantly, this will really strengthen the 7th NSEDP and make it more completed.
However, event though the participatory approach is a great way to do it and the 7th NSEDP has been applied, but not just depends on that. It still has the questions- whether all comments will be considered, how the ministry of planning and investment will consolidate them and how the ministry of planning and investment will improve the draft! Those are still mystery issues or there are still the question in mind of lots of people.
