Farmers in Laos can now work their fields during both wet and dry season thanks to a new integrated irrigation project.

The project which is supported by the United Nations Development Programme, UNDP, and the India, Brazil and South Africa (IBSA) fund helps farmers to boost production and improve their livelihoods.
