According to the report at the Workshop, the IREM Project is funded by the German Relief Alliance (ADH) and implemented by World Vision for 14 months (October 2023-November 2024) in three districts of Muong Cha, Tuan Giao, Muong Ang and Dien Bien Phu city (Dien Bien province). The project aims to reduce disaster risks and improve the lives of more than 66,700 people, including more than 33,400 children, especially vulnerable groups such as poor households, children, single parents and people with disabilities.
Throughout the workshop, delegates shared and discussed the results of the project implementation, lessons learned and solutions to maintain and replicate the project results in the future. At the same time, they acknowledged the important contributions of local partners in effectively implementing the project activities.
Specifically, after more than a year of implementation, the Project has achieved positive results in supporting ethnic minority communities in Dien Bien province to improve their resilience to natural disasters. The Project has helped improve the awareness and capacity of people, teachers and students in responding to extreme natural disasters such as flash floods, landslides, droughts, forest fires, severe cold, etc.
