Synopsis (short abstract) The Country Programming Framework (CPF) is the tool used by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to define its medium-term response to the assistance needs of member countries in pursuit of national development objectives that are consistent with the FAO Strategic Framework and Regional Priorities, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other Internationally Agreed Development Goals (IADGs) and strategic objectives of the United Nations Development Assistance Fr amework (UNDAF). It replaces the National Medium-term Priority Framework (NMTPF) as the FAO planning instrument. The CPF for the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) outlines the joint Government of Lao PDR (GOL) and FAO medium-term priorities for FAO’s technical assistance over the period 2013-2015. It was formulated by a joint national and international team through a process of literature review, semi-structured interviews with key resource persons from GOL, FAO, other UN agencies, othe r development partners and civil society. Successive drafts of the document have benefited from the comments of GOL and FAO’s national, regional and headquarters offices.
