Summary

The overall goal of the Climate Smart Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction (Climate Smart CBDRR) Project is that vulnerable communities in the Mekong Delta have increased resilience to the current and projected impacts of climate change.

Description

This design document outlines the approach that Australian Red Cross and its partners will take in working in two provinces (Kien Giang and An Giang) in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam to increase resilience of communities to the current and projected impacts of climate change.

Over 2.5 years, the project aims to assist approximately 96,000 people, with 23,000 directly involved in activities across fifteen target communes to better prepare for weather related disasters and climate change risks. This project will also help to build the capacity of the Vietnam Red Cross to build on its community based disaster risk management approach to integrate broader climate change considerations.
