The present study bring together in a systematic manner the available information from recent expenditure and consumption surveys for Laos as they relate to the impact of the EWEC on different social and economic aspects of households in the Lao PDR province of Savannakhet. The intent is to provide a means of identifying the progress being made in the ADB’s GMS corridor initiatives and to identify areas for further interventions. The study is part of the ADB’s continuing work on the social and general welfare impact of the GMS corridors. That work includes efforts to formulate recommendations and action plans for mitigating possible negative effects from the associated economic transformation of the areas surrounding the corridors. The study also supports the ADB’s other work on the impact of cross-border trade and investment on poverty alleviation. Finally, it complements new work being carried out on corridor towns, particularly those related to border town development.
