    The case study is the result of one of the most sustained efforts made by the Royal Government of Bhutan to strengthen the agricultural base of people dependent on shifting cultivation. This effort, which began in the mid-1980s, involved undertaking a comprehensive evaluation of shifting cultivation and its practitioners, giving particular attention not only to the techniques of shifting cultivation and its environmental impacts but also to the social, institutional and cultural aspects of the c ommunities depending for their subsistence on this form of cultivation, called tsheri in Bhutan. This breadth of inquiry was necessary to glean an understanding of why shifting cultivation has persisted despite repeated attempts to eradicate it.

    “We cannot reduce the number of natural disasters experienced in the country and in Attapeu Province itself. However, we can surely reduce and manage its impacts on the lives of villagers and local farmers.” This is how Vanvilay Souliyapalom, a government officer at the Samakhixay District Agriculture and Forestry Office, feels. Vanvilay clearly understands the importance of putting in place measures for the prevention, reduction and mitigation of any natural disaster risk on crops and livestock and on community members and their properties. She thus fully participated and joined the training provided by the "Building Climate-Resilient and Eco-Friendly Agriculture Systems and Livelihoods in Lao People's Democratic Republic" project or Climate REAL project, to develop Community-based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) plans, a strategy highlighted in the district socio-economic development plan to manage disaster risks at the grassroots level.This is the life transforming story through the support from the Climate REAL project.
