Background

The Land Information Working Group (LIWG) is an informal thematic sub-working group of the INGO network in Lao PDR. LIWG raises awareness and understanding of the social, economic and environmental impacts of land-related projects, by gathering and disseminating information, facilitating dialogue and carrying out studies. This work supports rural communities toward better management and governance of their land, and natural resources.

For over fifteen years, one of LIWG’s powerful tools for community outreach and legal empowerment is the Legal Calendar. The Legal calendar presents complex laws, regulations, and policies related to land and natural resources in a clear, highly visual, and accessible format.
