There are presently 2 agencies in Lao PDR principally
responsible for WSS service provision. In urban centres, the
Urban Water Supply State Enterprises (known as Nam
Papa) are responsible for operating and maintaining constructed
utilities on behalf of each province. Overseeing the
planning of these services in the urban centres is the
Department of Housing and Urban Planning (DHUP) in the
Ministry of Communication, Transport, Post and Construction
(MCTPC); and in the rural areas the National
Centre for Environmental Health and Water Supply (NEW)
in the Ministry of Public Health (MoH). The urban and
rural WSS sectors have functioned separately in the past.
