Lower Mekong Food Security Database

Project Information

The project aims to promote food security in remote and ethnically diverse mountainous area, in the far northeast of Xiengkhouang province. To ensure adequate supplies of high quality foods, target villages are being supported in three key areas:

1. Sustainable upland agriculture and improved management of forest and aquatic resources
   
2. Reduced household vulnerability to food insecurity through improved and diversified livelihood options and a decrease of key shock- and stress incidences
   
3. Increased human, social and physical capital needed to improve and maintain food security status of households.
   

The project’s approach recognizes a broad range of participatory methods as well as building mechanisms to ensure active involvement of target beneficiaries, local and community based organizations, and local government institutions.
