This presentation gives an introduction to the project from ICEM funded by ADB and in collaboration with UNDP to promote climate resilient rural infrastructure in Northern Vietnam.
The purpose of the project is:
To assist Vietnam in taking steps to protect rural infrastructure from the anticipated effects of climate change, by enhancing the capacity of stakeholders at local, provincial and national level;
2) To assess climate risks, and
3) To design and implement cost effective, sustainable, bioengineered solutions to increase climate resilience.

• To assist Viet Nam in taking steps to protect rural
infrastructure from the anticipated effects of climate
change ….
…. by enhancing the capacity of stakeholders at local,
provincial and national level (i) to assess climate risks,
and (ii) to design and implement cost effective,
sustainable, bioengineered solutions to increase climate
resilience.

8. 1. Identification of low-cost climate-proofing measures for
rural infrastructure in northern Viet Nam.
2. Demonstration of climate change-resilient techniques in the
provinces of Bac Kan and Son La on two rural roads, one
irrigation scheme and one river embankment.
3. Establishment of a cadre of trained technical personnel
familiar with the protection measures.
4. Recommendations for integration of the demonstrated
approaches into training curricula, standard design
procedures and contract specifications.
5. Identification of climate change risks and vulnerabilities,
and the potential for applying the demonstrated measures
for strengthening the resilience of nearby communities.
TA 8102-VIE: Scope of Services
9. Time and Resources
• 3 years: January 2013 - December 2015
• 87 person-months
(26 international, 61 national)
• approx. $ 500,000 for physical implementation
• approx. $ 100,000 for training, workshops, seminars
10. Main Tasks
1. Vulnerability and risk assessment of sub-project sites,
and development of options for solutions
2. Concept design, detailed design, and physical
implementation of solutions (focus on bioengineering)
3. Capacity building and training
12. Technical Approach
The project requires:
• Assessment of exposure, hazard and climate risk in the project
areas.
• Identification and application of appropriate solutions to
manage the risks.
• Engagement with local communities, government officers,
contractors and other stakeholders to capture the lessons
learned from the demonstration activities.
• Training to enhance capacity for the application of similar
measures elsewhere.
