| Overview : In the partnership with the Green Climate Fund (GCF), UNDP support Viet Nam to improve the resilience of the coastal vulnerable local communities to help them respond effectively to climate change, natural disasters and ensure the country’s environmental sustainability. The project aims to rebuild 4,000 houses and to regenerate 4,000 hectares of mangroves. It also aims to increase the quality and accessibility of climate risk related information and therefore increase its utility in decision making. Key results for the project include: 1. Increased resilience of infrastructure and the built environment to climate change 2. Improved management of land or forest areas contributing to emissions reductions 3. Increased generation and use of climate information in decision making The resilience housing component currently covers five provinces: Quang Ngai, Quang Nam; Thua Thien-Hue, Quang Binh, Thanh Hoa. Building on a going social protection programme to provide houses for the poor and marginalized (Decision No. 48/2014 / QD-TTg by Prime Minister dated 8/2014), the project aims to strengthen storm/ flood resilient design features in 4,000 new houses for poor and highly disaster-exposed people in coastal areas. The mangrove component is implemented in Ca Mau, Nam Dinh, Thanh Hoa, Quang Nam and Quang Ngai provinces. In order to raise awareness of the high school and university students on the important roles of mangrove to reduce climate change impacts, UNDP is looking for a highly qualified and experienced firm to organize the special drawing competition “Mangroves help tackle climate change” in which at least 10 students with best paintings will be selected and they need to submit 200 words explanation and present their ideas at the award ceremony. The selection will be based on a competitive basis and will comply with UNDP procurement regulations.
