A child-centred programme funded by the Australian Agency for
International Development (AusAID) has got underway in central Quang
Nam province with the aim of improving understanding and capacity of
children and the community to adapt to climate change impacts.
The “Vietnam Children-Centred Climate Resilience” programme, with a
budget of over 10 billion VND (476,000 USD), is being carried out in
Quang Nam’s Duy Xuyen and Thang Binh districts.
It also
aims to enhance capacity of grassroots managerial agencies and the
society to implement community-based climate adaptation programmes as
well as increase policy-makers’ involvement in such programmes.
The project will last until November 30, 2014.-VNA
