<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Briefly to you, the <b>Mekong Adaptation
and Resilience to Climate Change </b>or so called <b>"Mekong ARCC"</b>
project is a five- year program (2011-2016) funded by the USAID Regional
Development Mission for Asia (RDMA) in Bangkok and implemented by DAI in
partnership with the International Centre for Environmental Management
(ICEM) and World Resources Institute (WRI). The project addresses information
and policy gaps to provide communities in the Mekong River basin with the
guidance and support they need to develop sustainable integrated adaptation
plans that will increase their ability to cope with the negative impacts
of climate change. The project supports activities in Thailand, Vietnam,
Cambodia and Lao and is headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand. The primary
goal of Mekong ARCC is <i>"Increase adaptation capacity and resilience
of communities to the negative impacts of climate change"</i>.
This will be achieved through five main tasks, the foundation of which
is a Climate Change Impact and Adaptation Study.</font>
