Some of their volunteering activities that have contributed to SDGs include: Advocating for capacity building for a community on poverty reduction and socio-economic development (SDG 1);<br /> - Providing food supplies to primary schools in remote and rural communities (SDG 2);<br /> - Assisting in raising awareness on reproductive health for youths and guiding them to reliable sources of information at Vientiane Youth Center (SDG 3);<br /> - Promoting reading for children, providing learning materials, assisting in school construction, and volunteering to teach young children in rural communities (SDG 4);<br /> - Conducting activities to promote gender equality (SDG 5);<br /> - Providing academic and career planning advice for youths in schools and career expos (SDG 8);<br /> - Conducting a workshop on inclusion and access for people with disabilities, and advocating for equality for LGBTQ+ (SDG 10);<br /> - Volunteering in the Second-Hand World project, a UNDP award winning project aiming to promote circular economy (SDG 1, 12 & 13);<br /> - Conducting skill development workshops on climate change awareness for youths in communities and joining awareness raising campaigns on environmental issues (SDG 13);<br /> - Providing legal advice (SDG 16); and<br /> - Advocating for community involvement in community development activities (SDG 17 and SDG 18).<br /> Realising their contributions, the Government in collaboration with some key partners organised a series of discussions with volunteer groups, young people and civil society on the SDG implementation as a follow up from the first VNR. Some of key recommendations from youth, volunteer and Lao civil society discussions are highlighted as follow (key recommendations are those relating on the key selected SDGs for this VNR.

Young people play an essential role in the sustainable national recovery from the pandemic. During 2021, over 120,000 adolescents and young people received counselling through hotline/helplines, outreach, on-site and online modalities, serviced by counsellors and youth volunteers. The demand is great and we hope to reach and respond to more youth. </p></p> <p>Paragraph 2, page 64</p> <p><p>Addressing quantity and quality of health personnel is vital and critical in the context of population growth and its changing structure. With the current trends, the total population of Lao PDR is projected to reach 8.1 million in 2030, representing a gain of almost 1 million people from now. Within this overall increase, the population and proportions of different age groups have wide variation, particularly those older than 65 years of age and females of reproductive age from 15-49 years. Therefore, to address the increasing population and changing population structure, an urgent task that the Government will undertake is to ensure the increased numbers of health care personnel (more than double of the current health personnel (around 12,000) who 65 are well trained to meet new demands. Village health volunteers are essential for providing primary healthcare services and health at the community level, especially in remote and rural areas in Lao PDR. Their role is crucial in ensuring that essential healthcare reaches underserved populations and in educating and empowering communities to improve their health and well-being. These workers often serve as a bridge between formal healthcare facilities and the community, making them a key component of the healthcare system, particularly in areas where access to healthcare is limited. </p></p> <p>Paragraph 3, page 102</p> <p><p>Recruitment and Retention Incentives: although retention policy is still at the early stage of development, the Government has been putting greater efforts on attracting and retaining high-quality teachers by offering benefits, and career development opportunities. Incentives such as scholarships for further education, promotion pathways, and recognition for outstanding performance have been put in place to motivate teachers and improve retention rates. Special programs have been implemented to support volunteers’ teachers working in remote and rural areas. This includes providing additional trainings, housing and living allowances, and career advancement. However, more need to be done in this area to ensure increased numbers of qualified teachers. </p></p> <p>Paragraph 4, page 149</p> <p><p style="line-height:normal;margin-bottom:0in;">Involvement of youth and volunteers in a systematic way to implement and monitor the progress of
