Lao PDR - Mainstreaming Disaster and Climate Risk Management into Investment Decisions

Development Objective

The proposed program aims to strengthen the institutional authority and implementation capacity of the Government of Lao PDR at national and sub-national levels to mainstreaming disaster risk management and climate change adaptation into public infrastructure investments, thereby potentially decreasing the vulnerability of the population and national economy to climate change and natural hazards. The development objectives are expected to be achieved by : (i) integrating climate and disaster risk management into strategic national and sectoral planning and development policies; (ii) improving the consideration of disaster and climate resilience in the implementation of public infrastructure; (iii) enhancing the human and institutional capacity through training at national, provincial, district, and community level in the design and implementation of resilient infrastructure; and (iv) implementing strategic structural and non-structural measures to enhance resilience in key growth sectors in two high-risk provinces.
