The Red Cross Red Crescent (RCRC) partnership with DIPECHO in Southeast Asia supported community-based disaster risk reduction (CBDRR) efforts in Laos from 2008-2011. This provided an incubator for developing and scaling up CBDRR methodology in the country. Key outcomes included improved and documented CBDRR practices, increased capacity of local disaster committees, an RCRC CBDRR handbook used nationwide, and RCRC recognized as a leader in disaster risk reduction. The partnerships also had multiplier effects like expanding CBDRR to over 300 villages and integrating CBDRR into other development projects. Going forward, suggestions included establishing a national DRR platform and further adapting and documenting CBDRR tools and methods.
The Lao Red Cross is working to integrate disaster risk reduction education into the Lao school curriculum from primary to university level. They have conducted pilot programs in 3 provinces to introduce DRR concepts and games to teachers and students.

The Lao Red Cross aims to continue this work with support from partners to empower more children and communities.
