VIENITANE (Vientiane Times/Asia News Network): The government is continuing to pursue a devolution strategy known as the Sam Sang (Three Builds) directive, to alleviate poverty and enable Laos to graduate from the United Nations’ list of least developed countries in 2026.

The Sam Sang directive aims to build up provinces as strategy-making units, districts to be strengthened in all regards, and villages to become development units.
