Voices of the Nation: Why the 5th Population and Housing Census Matters.

Message by Dr. Bakhtiyor Kadyrov, UNFPA Representative to Lao PDR The 2025 Population and Housing Census is an important event for Lao PDR. It offers a unique, once-a-decade opportunity to gain a better understanding of the country's diverse population, their needs, and how to plan for the future. UNFPA is proud to be a key partner in this important undertaking, working alongside the Lao Statistics Bureau, development partners, and most importantly, the people of Laos.
