EEAL - Environmental Education & Awareness in Laos

EEAL is an alliance of Lao government and non-government organizations committed to environmental communication, education, and awareness raising (CEPA). It was established in late 2019 with the support of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and the Department of Environment (DoE) of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MoNRE) in cooperation with provincial and district environmental agencies as well as civil society organizations (CSO), university faculties, and social enterprises. EEAL builds on Lao-German development cooperation projects that, since 2011, aim at improving knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding environmental and biodiversity protection, and climate change adaptation in Laos. In addition to work with national mass media, the projects, and EEAL today, have supported CEPA activities and capacity development at schools, in remote areas, and with government, mass and other organizations in Laos.
