About CCL
Comité de Coopération avec Laos (CCL) is a French Non-Governmental Organization based in Vientiane in Laos. Our main goal is to enhance the rural development and contribute to the poverty alleviation in Lao PDR. We have been implementing rural development programs in the Northern uplands since 1980 in order to improve the livelihoods of local communities, especially poor families and women from ethnic minorities in remote areas.
