The Lao Front for National Development (LFND; Lao: ແນວລາວສ້າງຊາດ, Neo Lao Sang Lat) is a Laotian popular front founded in 1979, and led by the Lao People's Revolutionary Party. Its task is to organize Laotian mass mobilization, and other socio-political, organizations. In 1988, its tasks were expanded to include certain ethnic minority affairs. It is also in charge of religious affairs; all religious organizations within Laos must register with the LFND.
