Component 4 Of The Lao Seadrm Project On Knowledge And Coordination, Implemented By The Department Of Planning (Dop) Of The Ministry Of Planning And Investment (Mpi), Supports Overall Project Coordination And Management And Studies For Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Management (Drm) In Planning And Investment. To Strengthen Disaster Preparedness And Recovery, Dop-Mpi Developed A Value For Money (Vfm) Strategy For Disaster Recovery And Reconstruction 2016-2020 For Laopdr, Which Aims To Improve Management Of Investments In Disaster Recovery And Reconstruction, Looking At The Criteria Of Relevance, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Impact, And Sustainability. The Updating Of A National Vfm Strategy For Post-Disaster Recovery And Reconstruction Is On-Going.[1] However, Limited Information And Communications Technology (Ict) Capacity And Government Resources, Along With The Lack Of Opportunities For Sufficient Hands-On Training, Have Hindered The Operationalization Of The Vfm Strategy. While Initial Steps Have Been Taken By Mpi, Further Support Is Required To Coordinate Integration Of The Vfm Strategy Into The Current Drm Policy Framework (Including The Post-Disaster Needs Assessment [Pdna] Procedures) And Build The Technical And Ict Capacities Of Dop-Mpi, Line Ministries, And Provincial Departments To Operationally-Ready Standards.
