“We cannot reduce the number of natural disasters experienced in the country and in Attapeu Province itself. However, we can surely reduce and manage its impacts on the lives of villagers and local farmers.” This is how Vanvilay Souliyapalom, a government officer at the Samakhixay District Agriculture and Forestry Office, feels. Vanvilay clearly understands the importance of putting in place measures for the prevention, reduction and mitigation of any natural disaster risk on crops and livestock and on community members and their properties. She thus fully participated and joined the training provided by the "Building Climate-Resilient and Eco-Friendly Agriculture Systems and Livelihoods in Lao People's Democratic Republic" project or Climate REAL project, to develop Community-based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) plans, a strategy highlighted in the district socio-economic development plan to manage disaster risks at the grassroots level.This is the life transforming story through the support from the Climate REAL project.
