It builds and expands on the scope of the completed IFAD-supported Food Security Through Asian Root and Tuber Crops (FoodSTART) project (2011–2015). FoodSTART+ is implemented by the International Potato Center (CIP) together with the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) and in close collaboration with the CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas (CRP-RTB). FoodSTART+’s overall goal is to enhance food resilience among poor households (HH) in upland and coastal communities of Asia– Pacific through the introduction of root and tuber crops (RTCs) innovations. The project’s objectives are to (1) identify gender-responsive needs and opportunities through vulnerability assessments among food-insecure, RTC-producing and -consuming HH; (2) design and implement innovations that enhance food resilience with partners and local stakeholders; and (3) develop and validate effective partnership strategies with IFAD investment projects in promoting RTCs for food security at scale. FoodSTART+ has five outputs: Output 1: Subnational geographic target areas combining food vulnerability with significant RTC production and use are prioritised and mapped. Output 2: Effective, mutually beneficial, research for development (R4D) partnerships are identified, established, and monitored. Output 3: Gender-sensitive RTC innovations that respond to 10- to 20-year climate-change scenarios and expressed needs of stakeholders are identified. Output 4: R4D actions to promote RTC innovations are implemented and monitored and results are documented. Output 5: Field-based best practices, outcome stories, and success factors are documented and disseminated to support IFAD, CIP, CIAT, and wider national and regional policy development. FoodSTART+ is funded by a grant from the EU (€1,830,551) and additional support from IFAD ($ 200,000), which are complemented by co-financing from CIP ($100,000). The grant provided by IFAD focuses solely on Output 2. That is, applying and expanding partnership models with IFAD investment projects,

Meteorological Assessment (highlighting forecasting issues/impacts) There were 4 Tropical Cyclones affected Lao PDR from 1st January to 31st October 2017 (Tracks as shown in figure 1) which are above normal data passing Lao PDR (normal 2 – 3 tropcal cyclones). These tropical cyclones were classified into 3 categories which impacted directly over Lao PDR, namely: Severe Tropical Storm Talas (1704), Tropical Storm Sonca (1708), Typhoon Doksuri (1719), and Tropical Depression. Figure 1: Tropical Cyclones Track for 2017 over Western North Pacific (1) Severe Tropical Storm Talas (1704): Talas was the first tropical cyclones of the year 2017 passed over Lao PDR and it was number 4 of the year 2017 over Western North Pacific Ocean. Talas was formed to a tropical disturbance over South China Sea during 13 July 2017.

  • The Contribution of Forerunner to Storm Surges Along the Vietnam Coast

Occurrence of extreme water level events associated with tropical storms are often unpredicted and put coastal infrastructure and safety of coastal populations at risk. Hence, an improved understanding of the nature of storm surges and their components along the Vietnam coast is required. For example, a higher than expected extreme storm surge during Typhoon Kalmegi (2014) highlighted the lack of understanding on the characteristics of storm surges in Vietnam. Physical processes that influence the non-tidal water level associated with tropical storms can persist for up to 14 days, beginning 3–4 days prior to storm landfall and cease up to 10 days after the landfall of the typhoon.

  • Increasing Resilience to Natural Disasters with Cash-Based
    VIETNAM | JUNE 2018 Increasing resilience to natural disasters with cash-based interventions LESSONS LEARNED AND BEST PRACTICES FROM CASH TRANSFER PROGRAMMING IN RESPONSE TO TYPHOON DAMREY IN VIETNAM Cover photo: Bui Thi Hau welcomes her 10‑year‑old daughter Bui Thi Hoang Ngan back from school as life slowly returns to normal after Typhoon Damrey caused widespread flooding in central Vietnam in November 2017. As the sole breadwinner of the family, Hau dreams of saving enough as a day laborer to send Hoang to university. But she would have had to take a high‑interest loan from a money lender to replenish the family’s rice stocks that were lost to the floodwaters. Catholic Relief Services, with the START Fund, rolled out an emergency project to directly support thousands like Hau with cash transfers. Hau was able to replace the rice they had lost in the storm.

Destructive wildfires in Southern California generate billion-dollar economic and insured losses . Cyclone Ockhi triggers extensive flooding in Sri Lanka and India . Two consecutive tropical cyclones, Kai-tak and Tembin, caused 440 fatalities in Philippines Southern California endured a destructive wildfire outbreak, which engulfed portions of Ventura and Los Angeles counties during the month of December. The most significant was the Thomas Fire, which was noted to have destroyed more than 1,063 homes and was declared the largest wildfire in California’s modern history. Billion-dollar economic and insured losses were confirmed by the authorities as a result. Cyclone Ockhi impacted Sri Lanka and portions of India in early December. Heavy rainfall, associated with the cyclone, triggered extensive flooding and landslides. Tens of thousands of homes were damaged or destroyed, while hundreds of people were killed. Unofficial reports indicated that hundreds of others may have been killed or missing, particularly in southern India. Economic losses were expected to reach well into the 100s of millions (USD) though unconfirmed reports indicated the losses could reach into the billions (USD). Two consecutive tropical cyclones impacted the Philippines between December 16 and 26. Kai-tak, locally also known as “Urduja”, made landfall in Eastern Samar province where it left more than 34,000 homes damaged or destroyed and at least 91 people dead.
