In alignment with the Joint UN Response, UNDP’s programme aims to address immediate needs and foster long-term resilience in the communities which were hardest hit by the disaster, particularly in the provinces of Lao Cai, Yen Bai, Hai Phong, and Quang Ninh.

Local residents reinforce old rafts to continue aquaculture activities on the Chanh River in Quang Ninh province in the aftermath of Typhoon Yagi.

This programme will address immediate recovery needs, including the distribution of recovery kits and multi-purpose cash transfers to vulnerable households. It will empower affected communities and strengthen their resilience to future disasters by rebuilding flood- and storm-resilient homes and small-scale community infrastructure and providing short-term employment opportunities through cash-for-work schemes.

According to Choi Youngsam, RoK Ambassador Vietnam, the RoK we have been working closely together with the Vietnamese government and international organisations, including UNDP, to ensure emergency fund will be effectively used and promptly distributed to areas and people in dire need of support in the aftermath of the natural disaster.

The implementation of this initiative will be carried out in close coordination with local authorities and in consultation with affected communities, prioritising support to vulnerable groups, including women-headed households, ethnic minorities, and persons with disabilities, to ensure that assistance is given to those most in need.

UNDP Resident Presentative, Ramla Khalidi, expressed appreciation for the timely support from the RoK, saying that this contribution will significantly bolster Vietnam’s recovery efforts in the aftermath of Typhoon Yagi.

Considered the most destructive storm to hit Viet Nam in three decades, Typhoon Yagi has affected 3.6 million people.

With nearly 400,000 homes damaged or submerged, and infrastructure in ruins, the storm has left the country to face a recovery effort estimated at more than 3.3 billion USD (81.5 trillion VND).
