The IWRM-EbA Project, led by UNDP Lao PDR in partnership with MONRE and supported by GEF, aims to enhance climate resilience and promote the sustainable management of land and water resources in Luang Prabang City and the Xe Bang Hieng River Basin. These regions face increasing risks from floods, droughts, and forest fires, which threaten both local communities and ecosystems. By integrating ecosystem conservation with water resource management, the project helps regulate water flow, reduce flood risks, and maintain soil fertility. It also strengthens local capacity, improves access to clean water, and promotes sustainable agricultural practices, ensuring long-term environmental sustainability and disaster risk reduction. Through collaboration with government agencies, development partners, and local communities, the project fosters a holistic approach to climate adaptation, balancing environmental protection with socio-economic development for a more resilient future.
