Descripción
In line with the National Committee for Disaster Management (NCDM) and its plans to develop an overall strategy for disaster risk reduction, including the agriculture sector, the General Directorate of Agriculture (GDA) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has requested a joint project with FAO to assist in planning and testing specific DRR measures that are tailored to the needs of agriculture. The GDA has selected Kampong Speu Province and the districts of Aoral, Baseth, Kong Pisei and Phnom Srouch as pilot sites for field activities. These districts are prone to both drought and floods. The project will distil key lessons and planning advice on proactive disaster risk reduction measures in agriculture for further replication in other provinces.
