The “Building Resilience to Natural Hazards in Central Vietnam” project has been implemented in Central Vietnam since 2011. The project comprises three phases. The first phase was implemented in 36 communes in Ha Tinh, Quang Nam and Quang Ngai provinces. The second in three wards of the same provinces, plus a ward in Hanoi. The third and current phase, starting in October 2015 and running to March 2017, is led by American Red Cross in a Consortium with five partners: Vietnam Red Cross (VNRC), Save the Children, Plan International, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and HelpAge International (HAI). It is implemented in four provinces of Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, Ha Tinh, and Quang Tri. In the 2nd and 3rd phases, the project aimed to develop effective and sustainable community-based disaster risk management (CBDRM) and climate change adaptation (CCA) measures to reduce the potential impact of climate related disasters and strengthen crucial services and infrastructure in communities in targeted provinces. Specifically, the project will develop the disaster risk reduction (DRR) and CCA capacity of a range of stakeholders and seek to add value to the Government of Vietnam (GoV) community based approaches to DRR.
