Lao Public Finance Modernisation and Governance Programme

Working with Temasek Foundation and the Ministry of Finance of Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR), SCE undertook a programme from 2008 to 2010 to develop a new master plan for the Tax Department and enhance the capabilities of senior officials from the National Treasury, Tax, and Customs departments.

The programme focused on enhancing governance by training 235 policymakers and officials in national treasury, tax, and customs operations. Additionally, it involved creating a strategic master plan for the centralisation of the Tax Department, aiming to support the Public Finance Modernisation and Governance programme in Lao PDR.
