The Round Table Meeting is organized every three years, as part of the Round Table Process (RTP). Led by the Government of Lao PDR, the RTP promotes in-depth dialogue with development partners to improve the effectiveness of international assistance in line with the Vientiane Declaration. The aim is to support what matters most for the country's development; improving the health and education of Lao people, expanding their income opportunities and contributing to sustainable development.
