Canada continues to help strengthen resilience to natural disasters in eight countries in Southeast Asia, including Vietnam. Yesterday, Canada announced $6.1 million over four years to the Canadian Red Cross for their Strengthening Community Resilience to Natural Disasters in Southeast Asia project. This project is helping improve local and regional capacities to reduce the impact of natural disasters, mitigate the risks and build up the resilience of communities in Southeast Asia by establishing more effective disaster risk reduction. With Canada’s support, this project is also helping improve representation of community issues, including gender equality, vulnerable groups, and the environment. The project will have a strong, positive impact on the health and well-being of women and children, who are among the most vulnerable during natural disasters.
