The ceremony reviewed the outcomes of disaster prevention and response activities carried out by the Disaster Risk Reduction Partnership (DRRP). In 2024, following Typhoon Yagi, 31 international agencies and organizations joined hands to support Vietnam. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development received from partners 220 tons of relief goods worth 2.3 million USD.

Four consecutive storms have caused severe damage across Vietnam’s northern and central provinces this year. In response, foreign organizations, governments, and partners have worked closely with the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment to conduct rapid needs assessments, provide emergency relief, and help affected communities quickly stabilize their lives after each disaster.

Themed “Fund Resilience, Not Disasters,” the ceremony was co-organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, UNICEF Vietnam, and the Hanoi National University of Education, with support from the Government of Japan.
