The terminal evaluation report, part of the Adaptation Fund project “Enhancing climate and disaster resilience in Lao PDR,” assesses the project’s performance from design to completion. It synthesizes achievements, results, and lessons learned, with a focus on gender and human rights. The evaluation used desk reviews, surveys, and interviews to cover criteria such as relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact outlook, sustainability, coherence, and cross-cutting issues.
Building upon the foundational success of the First Lao National Urban Forum (LNUF), the Second LNUF took place in October 2023 to coincide with World Habitat Day (WHD) 2023 and its theme of WHD is celebrated annually on the first Monday of October to raise awareness of the need for adequate shelter for all. “Resilient Urban Economies: Cities as Drivers of Growth and Recovery.” It was spearheaded by the Department of Housing and Urban Planning (DHUP) and received technical assistance from UN-Habitat.
