Climate Vulnerability ( sea level rise)
  • Vietnam one of the most vulnerable countries due
    to climate change and sea level rise
  • past 50 years, sea level rise increased about 20
    cm

4
Disaster and vulnerabilities in Ninh Thuan
  • Ninh Thuan experienced severe drought
  • Typhoons
  • Flash floods and landslide
  • Forecasting drought/climate changes in Ninh
    Thuan are more and more serious in the future.
  • Sea level rise, migration
  • Ethnic minority, poorest province, no voice

5
Oxfams Livelihoods Program since 2005
  • Horticulture
  • Provide seedlings and technical training on
    planting hybrid maize, cassava, bamboo for shoot,
    Jatropha
  • Provide seedlings and techniques on planting home
    garden vegetables utilized daily used water
  • Animal husbandry
  • Provide technical training and lending breeds of
    black pigs, cow and local chicken via community
    revolving funds
  • Water management
  • Establish water use groups and developing
    regulations for maintenance
  • Support to build up public gravity water flow
    system, and irrigation canal systems

Research 2006-2007Oxfam- Kyoto University
 Climate Change Research
  • Historical profile
  • Climate chance perception
  • Rainfall variability last 60 years
  • Vulnerabilities and risks
  • Impact of drought
  • Climate change impact in mountainous and coastal
    areas
  • Short term and long term recommendation

Current Oxfams activities and Plan 2008
  • Community level HVCA by Province and use climate
    change lances
  • Supporting community ongoing adaptive activities
  • Revising Livelihood activities and implementation
    methodology ( short term and long term
    perspective
  • Adding disaster risk mitigation, early warning,
    emergency preparedness
  • Involve multi stakeholders involving scientist,
    practitioners and Govt./leaders
  • Household- commune-province- national level
    linkage
  • MEL ( Baseline survey, mid-term assessment and
    final assessment

11
Example Disaster risk reduction
  • HVCA by Red Cross/ Oxfam staff using Red Cross
    and Oxfams tools
  • Providing training for communities on emergencies
    of disasters
  • Early warning system
  • Conduct workshops on DRR to specific identify
    roles and responsibilities of each parties local
    authorities, communities and individuals
  • Conduct competition for communities on drawings
    of their understanding about forest protection
    and DRR.
  • Emergency Preparedness to respond frequent and
    sever emergencies timely and effectively to

12
Examples community level livelihoods adaptation
activities
  • Adaptation
  • Review Oxfams ongoing activities considering
    multi-sectoral livelihood intervention and gender
    perspective
  • Advocacy on public health, water education and
    other section
  • Support to change crop calendar, new types of and
    crop reorientation
  • Provide training how to store and save water
  • Support to build individual water cisterns to
    store water (rain or collected water)
  • Provide guidelines and materials to make roof of
    cottages to reduce heat

13
Policy and practices change in next 2- 3 years
  • Share experiences in district and province
  • Replicate other provinces
  • Support district and Province authority to
    develop integrated socio-economic plan including
    DRR and climate change
  • Contribute to the National Plan ( SEDP)- Aim 4
    will be working with us for changing Province and
    national Plan

14
What is new?
  • Livelihood activities in two communes have
    baseline survey
  • Staff and partners were only involved
    implementing livelihood activities
  • Oxfams drought response project 2005
  • Have in-depth assessment, long terms perspective
  • Climate change forecasting
  • Disaster risk reduction included
  • Early warning mechanism
  • Staff are thinking widely
  • Adaptive activities wider context, consciously
    doing, modeling current coping mechanism
  • Scientists, leaders, practitioners are involved
  • Linking local, national and global

15
Challenges
  • Changing staff and partners idea and believes
  • Experiences, knowledge and expertise are limited
  • Time We all are busy
  • Money (OGB and OAus)
  • MEL
  • Advocacy, linking, articulation
