This is the first technical meeting between key FLEGT and REDD+ stakeholders in Lao PDR to understand and brainstorm on potential practical synergies between the two initiatives in the country. In general, stakeholders found this to be timely as both initiatives are in development phases. Working together and potential collaboration was seen by the group as important in order to be more effective and efficient in the long run.
