Our focus is on rural community development and capacity building of the Lao population from “rice roots” villagers to senior officials to help achieve the Lao National millennium goals:
- to half poverty by 2015
- to promote gender equality and empowerment of women,
- to reduce child mortality and improve maternal health
- to ensure environmental sustainability
We provide participatory curriculum design, training, research and resources for community development in Lao PDR. Since February 2004 until June 2009, RRDTC has provided training to 4,543 participants, 45% of whom were women. we have worked in 15 of the 18 Provinces of Laos, providing training for more than 10 different ethnic groups.
The Training Center provides a comfortable venue for training and other activities. We also train outside of Vientiane, in any province in Lao PDR.
