Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) is highly susceptible to climate change and natural hazards, particularly to flood and drought conditions which seriously affect the country’s agricultural production. Although gradually declining in terms of its contribution to GDP in recent years, agriculture continues to play a major role in Lao PDR’s economy. Kangphosay village, located in Savannakhet Province, and its surrounding agricultural lands are located along the bank of a river, an area which is prone to flooding. Since 1992, villagers have experienced four major floods, the most recent in 2015 when 106 hectares of agricultural land were flooded, damaging more than one third of cropped land. Four years earlier, in 2011, the village lost all its crops during a major flood that persisted for three months. Almost 400 hectares of farm land is potentially vulnerable to flood damage in any given year, and the water level can remain persistently high for months at a time. FAO and the European Union partnered with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and Laotian Province authorities to provide disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) training in agriculture in Kangphosay village, with the aim of increasing farmers’ resilience to disasters and broadening livelihood diversity.
