People' s Democratic Republic of Laos

Laos People's Democratic Republic is subject to high climatic and catastrophic risk. Drought, flooding and windstorms are the most common threats and are likely to worsen with age. Because of their higher vulnerabilities and diminished capacity to recuperate, the needy suffer the effects of catastrophes.

Laos PDR has included DRM in its policy and institutional framework. Important sectors of policy and strategy in the fields of farming, environmental, housing and transportation have included climatic and catastrophic risks. In its Vision 2030, Strategy 2025 and Action Plan 2020, the Ministry for Natural Resources and Enviroment has implemented DRM and mitigation in line with a national strategy on mitigation of global warming in 2010.

The Ministry of Planning and Investments, with the assistance of the World Bank, adopted in 2017 plans for addressing the risks of climatic and catastrophic events as part of the revision of PRIF. Currently a new five-year national strategic plan for catastrophe risks is under development. It has also devised funding schemes for catastrophe risks.

In 2015, the Social Fund was set up by the Ministry of Social Affairs to cover civil protection assistance. In order to further the DRM policy agendas, the following are some of the Governments priorities: Improving the regulatory framework to assist DRMs; enhancing the catastrophe and climatic resistance of the transportation industry; and enhancing the government's ability to react to disasters.

These evaluations contributed to mobilising the resources of the governments and donor agencies after the catastrophe and lay the foundation for measures to reduce risks. In addition, regional and domestic risks and a value for money rebuilding strategies were elaborated. These include an end-to-end flooding hazard assessment for Muang Xay and key traffic junctions in the north of Laos and the province's population.

This effort supports the preparation of the World Bank's $30 million civil protection program in Laos, Southeast Asia. This activity is part of a $25 million World Bank highway access development in Laos. Promotion of coordinated municipal flooding risks mitigation; reinforcement of catastrophe and climatic resistance in the transportation industry; reinforcement of fiscal resistance to disasters; and reinforcement of state capacities for DRMs.
