Promoting Climate Resilient Rural Infrastructure in the Northern Mountain Provinces of Vietnam
Donor / Partner: Asian Development Bank (ADB) | Duration: 2013-2016 | Location: The Northern Mountain Provinces of Vietnam
About: The objective of the project in northern Vietnam to demonstrate effective bio-engineered solutions which, where possible, provide ‘win-win’ outcomes for resilience of rural infrastructure to climate risk and opportunities for community livelihood enhancement.
The project focuses on rural irrigation, slope stability for roads, river-bank protection, and flood protection works. Lessons learned from the project works will provide the basis for capacity building activities with local community members, contractors and government staff at local, provincial and national levels. The extension of this work is to make recommendations for the broader adoption of bio-engineered approaches as an effective solution to manage climate risk in Vietnam. The project will also raise awareness of climate risks and vulnerabilities in local communities and empower them with the capability to manage risk through practical, cost effective solutions which can be implemented with local resources.

Recently we helped the United Nations Children’s Fund visualize the funding they received in 2012, and how it was spent.
As they note in their annual report, “UNICEF spends money where it is needed the most, on the most disadvantaged children and their families. Despite the continued global economic downturn, cash contributions in 2012 were 8 per cent higher than the previous year – proof that our donors continue to trust that we will save and improve the lives of children.”
We’re very glad we could help support the important work that UNICEF does, and add a little data visualization to their efforts.
