US$2.9 million funded to build resilience to natural hazards in central Vietnam
A workshop was held in Quang Tri province, on July 24, to kick start the third phase of the ‘Building resilience to natural hazards in Central Vietnam’ project. With a budget of roughly US$2.9 million, the third phase of the project is being implemented in 20 communes and is expected to support 180,450 beneficiaries.
The money will be used to improve the capacity of the local authorities and community-based mass organisations in disaster risk reduction, to increase resilience for vulnerable households, and to implement the Safe School Initiatives at primary and secondary schools.
