The project is for the procurement of an incinerator for medical waste as well as the construction of incineration facility in Luang Prabang City to improve medical waste handling and management, in order to ensure residents near the disposal site and staff working for waste disposal against risks of infections which are possibly caused by landfill of medical waste.

Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP) provides necessary funds for relatively small-scale projects that directly benefit local residents and are aimed at economic and social development in developing countries, based on the concept of human security. In order to ensure “no- one left behind” through rectification of regional disparity, Japan will continue to support and improve the basic standard of living at grassroots level in the Lao PDR.
