Consultant for the Baseline Survey, Participatory Rural Assessment
The Phongsaly Alternative Livelihood and Food Security (PALAFS) project will support the efforts of the Government of Lao PDR and former opium poppy cultivating communities in sustaining opium elimination through a community centred approach that addresses alternative sustainable livelihoods development, food security, drug demand reduction, vulnerable communities, income generation as well as climate change by reducing deforestation and environmental degradation. The project will consolidate and complete certain remaining activities of the Phongsaly Alternative Development Fund (PADF) Project as well as build on the achievements, experiences and lessons learnt to expand activities to an additional 16 new villages in Khoua, Mai and Samphan Districts of Phongsaly Province. This project responds to the development priorities of the Lao PDR currently indicated in the National Drug Control Master Plan (2009-2013) and the seventh National Socio-Economic Development Plan (2011-2015) as well as attainment of the Millennium Development Goals. The Project will create synergies through partnerships with other agencies contributing to aid effectiveness and the goals of the Vientiane Declaration ensuring ownership, alignment, harmonization, managing for results and mutual accountability. Support to food security, basic infrastructure development, technology transfer and skills training as well as improving access to finance will lead to an increase in household income as well as a reduction of poverty and vulnerability. These achievements will act to prevent farmers from returning to the practice of opium cultivation in a province that previously had the highest rate of poverty, opium production and consumption in the country. Identified best practices will contribute to achieving food security and development goals in the country and region
