FIP/SC.7/4 October 6, 2011 Meeting of the FIP Sub-Committee Washington, D.C. October 31, 2011 Agenda Item 4 INVESTMENT PLAN OF LAO PEOPLE’S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC Proposed Decision by FIP Sub-Committee The FIP Sub-Committee, having reviewed the Investment Plan for Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Document FIP/SC.7/4), a) endorses the Investment Plan as a basis for the further development of the projects foreseen in the plan and takes note of the requested funding of USD 30 million in grant funding. The Sub-Committee requests the Government of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic and the MDBs, in the further development of the proposed projects, to take into account comments submitted by Sub-Committee members by November 15, 2011. b) reconfirms its decision on the allocation of resources, adopted at its meeting in November 2010, that a range of funding for the country should be used as a planning tool in the further development of project and program proposals to be submitted to the FIP Sub-Committee for FIP funding approval, recognizing that the minimum amount of the range is more likely and that the upper limit of the range will depend on availability of funding. The range of funding agreed for the People’s Democratic Republic is USD 20-30 million in FIP resources. The Sub-Committee also recognizes that the quality of the proposed activities will be a significant factor in the funding to be approved by the Sub-Committee when project and program proposals are submitted for approval of FIP funding. c) approves a total of USD1.0million in FIP funding as preparation grants for the following projects to be developed under the investment plan: i. USD500,000 for the project “Protecting Forests for Sustainable Ecosystem Services (PFSES)” (ADB); and ii.
