A program for “Strengthening Preparedness for Emergency Response through Multi-Stakeholder Cooperation in Southeast Asia” was launched with additional support from United States Agency for International Development Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (USAID BHA) in July 2020. Under this initiative, Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) will work with selected partners in Lao PDR to adapt the Asian Preparedness Partnership (APP) partnership model towards establishing a ‘’Lao Preparedness Partnership’’ platform with representation from the government, local humanitarian organizations, and the private sector.
