Plan International held a workshop to launch a project on natural
disaster control and aftermath mitigation in the central province of
Quang Tri on September 1.
The project will
benefit 12 villages in the two mountainous districts of Hong Hoa and
Dakrong and the coastal district of Gio Linh, which are all prone to
natural disasters.
The non-profit organisation
will help hold training courses to increase local capacity to cope with
natural calamities and fund small-scaled operations of mitigating
national disaster impact at a total cost of over 6 billion VND.
The project, scheduled to end by November 31, 2011, will benefit over 33,000 people./.
