Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetConsolidating Capacities for Disaster Risk Reduction in Agriculture in Cambodia 2015
Also available in:
Almost every year, floods and droughts cause significant losses and damages to agriculture in Cambodia. This not only threatens the food and nutrition security of thousands of smallholder farmers, but also reduces livelihood security. The effects of climate change will put the food system under additional stress. The DIPECHO funded project will contribute to minimizing these effects though integrating Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) into the MAFF (Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries) C limate Change Priorities Action Plan for Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries 2014-2018, and developing a Plan of Action for DRR in agriculture for Oddar Meanchey province as well as testing and disseminating climate- and disaster-resilient farming practices in both target provinces, Kampong Speu and Oddar Meanchey. Besides, though the project small-scaled irrigation systems in Kampong Speu province shall be rehabilitated. -

Also available in:
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.
