The LACP Memorandum of Subsidiary Arrangement (MSA) was signed on 7 July 2022 by GoL and Australian Government with a budget of at least $10 million to 30 June 2024 ($13.2 million has been committed), with an option to extend. LACP is delivered by the Partnerships for Infrastructure (P4I) initiative and complement GoL’s Southeast Asia Regional Economic Corridor and Connectivity (SEARECC) project, which the World Bank funds.

During the bridging period, P4I will continue to support GoL to improve transport connectivity and infrastructure decision-making and practice - building on Laos’ ASEAN chair year connectivity and resilience agenda.
