IWAA-DGD 22-26 SP and Labour Rights The International Labor Organization's 2015 monitoring report first explored ASEAN's action plans on social protection in each ASEAN member state. The survey's findings also indicated that some ASEAN nations, including the Philippines, Cambodia, a part of Vietnam, and Laos, still fall behind other members in terms of social protection, with Thailand being the best in this regard. The survey report also highlights a number of significant issues that contribute to the country's insufficient social protection, such as the system's still-limited coverage. Lack of access to the social security system, inability  informal workers and their families to receive social assistance, ineffective employer contributions, and gender inequity. Additionally, the state budget's commitment to socialprotection efforts is still insufficient. The social protection policy framework of Lao PDR is still scattered and includes protections for the elderly, the disabled, orphans, school meal programs, pregnant women, newborns, andmother and child policies. And the national health insurance system has been implemented in 17 provinces (except Vientiane capital) and now it has expanded to mother and child policy. Due to several policy limitations, parents' limited knowledge of the policy, the system's coverage, medical services, geographical limitations, and other factors, there are still a limited number of people who can access and understand this policy.
In order to advance strong social protection policies and practices, the goal of this project is to emphasize on collaboration withrelated parties, including trade unions, ministry of labor and social welfare , local governments, and civil society organizations at various levels. increase coverage of the informal labor groups, disseminate social protection policies, and disseminate various labor protection and gender promotion policies in order to correspond with the growth of the informal labor groups in terms of the production of goods for their food chain, marketing and the ability to interact with partners at various levels of informal labor groups that are targeted, especially the group's management board, will increase the interchange information berween the group and the existing network. Increase the formation of networks and groups, especially among traders who look for equipment to trade, food producers, agricultural and livestock workers, and producers of organic vegetables (own-plant, own-sell), who are a group of underprivileged individuals who have breakfast and dinner to support their families, but it is beneficial to both them and society for the project to assist agricultural workers, particularly farmers will cooperate with the provincial and district unions in doing activities to set up groups to educate people about law and legislation so that they have the knowledge to protect themselves and be safe when working in the workplace and so on.  At the same time, the association will continue to establish groups and promote activities of production, marketing anddistribution of products for those doing business to earn income from growing organic vegetables. So that those workers can generate more income to have the money to enroll in the social security membership to access to insurance guarantee in case of illness or accident. Including doing outreach activities. Analyze the work of gender roles in order to reduce the conflictbetween the roles of men and women in the family so that they can lead a dignified life in the society and gradually improve their living conditions.
