After Relocating for Dam Construction Project, 1,400 Lao Villagers Face Difficulties

Around 1,400 people in Laos are finding it difficult to support themselves three months after relocating for a local dam construction project. Some even return to their old villages to tend rice fields during the country’s planting season.

The Chinese-backed Nam Ou 4 dam is one of seven dams planned for the Nam Ou River, which traverses Phongsaly and Luangprabang provinces in northern Laos.

The 1,400, from 297 separate households spread over five villages in Phongsaly province’s Khoua district, moved into a resettlement village on March 14, 2019.
