The “Capacity building for measuring multi-hazard livelihood security and resilience in the lower Mekong basin” project developed a tool for measuring livelihood security and resilience to multihazards. In the first phase, the project developed the Livelihood Security and Resilience Assessment (LiSeRA) framework and tool for measuring multi-hazards perspectives of the selected communities in selected lower Mekong river basin countries. In the second phase, the project conducted national level workshops in the three project countries; Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam to enhance the capacities of local stakeholders in using the toolkit to conduct resilience
assessment. The workshops also helped identify the synergies of the tool and the proposed indicators in the LMB communities, and compute the relative weightage and ranking of the indicators for robust assessment process.

In the final phase, a “Final Knowledge Dissemination Workshop” was conducted at the Asian Institute of Technology on 9-10 February 2023. The regional level workshop included discussions on the regional, national and local perspectives of disaster risk, climate change, livelihood impacts and resilience in the LMB communities and the utilization of the LiSeRA framework and toolkit in assessment process.

The workshop was conducted in-person, with a total of 25 participants including researchers and practitioners within the LMB countries involved in disaster risk management and development planning. The two-day workshop consisted of interactive presentations from notable experts, group discussions and exercises.
