Development Goals in the country. Articles have to be based on original
research. They should demonstrate innovative and fresh approach
to the subject matter, while being well written, clear, concise
and readable.
The first prize for this prestigious accolade is eight million kip

a certificate will go to each of the two runners-up.
Contributions must be received by 15 August 2005 to be eligible
