| description | As an impact of the ongoing El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon, serious drought
has been occurring in the Central Highlands of Vietnam and has caused varying degrees of
damage to agriculture and the livelihoods of people in the region. On 15 March 2016, the
Vietnamese government and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) organized a
meeting with donors, international organizations and other partners to discuss joint efforts for
drought response and recovery. Another meeting was presided by the Ministry of Agriculture
and Rural Development (MARD) Minister and the UN Resident Coordinator on 30 March 2016 to
report on the recent rapid assessment of current natural hazards and call for short-, medium and
long-term support from the international community. MARD recognizes that this crisis and
its subsequent effects (e.g. inundation after the drought) will recur in the future and that there is
a need to prepare and plan for necessary response measures.
In response to this urgent call, the CGIAR Centers operating in Vietnam, in collaboration with
MARD, organized a joint field assessment in the Central Highlands to have a first-hand
observation and assessment of the drought problem currently being experienced by the region.
The CGIAR interventions recommended based on the assessment may support the short-,
medium- and long-term planning in response to the impacts of climate change. The collective
strength that the CGIAR could contribute is in downscaling some of the global data and analyses
to Vietnam scenarios and forecasts for their planning, recommending climate-smart agriculture
(CSA) options for integration in current and future donor/development interventions, and
identifying opportunities in research for development (R4D) for future preparedness. |
