Message by Dr. Bakhtiyor Kadyrov, UNFPA Representative to Lao PDR
Voices of the Nation: Why the 5th Population and Housing Census Matters.

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.
