PINZ has recently finished an Asian Development Bank (ADB) project preparatory technical assistance (PPTA) in Lao PDR on Strengthening Higher Education. PINZ led the team of nine international experts and two nationals and worked in partnership with two national consulting firms, Top Value Service (TVS) and Lao Consulting Group (LCG).
The PINZ project management team effectively coordinated project inputs and deliverables including the inception, midterm and final workshops in Vientiane which resulted in the successful completion of all project specifications. This Technical Assistance Project provides the framework for the allocation of a US$24m grant to the Ministry of Education from the Asian Development Fund. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the grant was approved by the ADB Board on 5th October 2009.
