| dc.description | The Government of Lao PDR and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) in particular have recognized the need for reducing the underlying risks to counterbalance hazard and disaster impacts. A proactive, integrated approach to disaster risk management (DRM) with a strong focus on disaster risk reduction (DRR) measures, linked to poverty reduction, food and nutrition security, and the emerging challenges of climate change is a new priority for sustainable agricultural development. MAF has i nitiated an interactive DRR stakeholder consultation process in 2013, which led to the development of this Plan of Action for Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) in Agriculture (2014-2016); This plan will guide the ministry and its departments to systematically integrate risk mitigation and prevention into ongoing and new development activities, enhance preparedness for response, and promote faster recovery in agricultural sectors, including crops, livestock, forestry, and fisheries/aq uaculture; its implementation will ultimately contribute to increasing the resilience of rural livelihoods to climate-related hazards and disasters. | |
