The project, which started in 2005, aimed to help the Lao people in remote and isolated areas develop production and benefit from national socio-economic development, while ensure security and order in border areas.

Under the project, seven sections of road, with a total length of 75km, three village halls, 16 schools, three medical centers and a number of irrigation projects were built.

The project, carried out in the districts of Vienthong, Xammneua and Ett, cost 81 billion Laos Kip (nearly VND15 billion or US$0.8 million). 60 percent of the capital was provided by the Laos Government and 40 percent from Vietnamese.
