According to VRA , which was conducted in 5 villages, the results relates to trend analysis that present other continuing climate change variables. We have combined the results from five villages through focused group discussion on climate change and identification of key hazards including draught, duration of draught, crops damage draught, flood risk, flood duration, crops damage floods and level of rainfall between a defined period from 1980 to 2010 and has combined the results from VRA report per villages to integrate into average of five villages relating to 1-4 questions to present the climate change affecting all sectors which are climate, infrastructure, economic, technical, institutional, HR/Skill, natural resources and information.

- With current climate situation, community people live in dilemma. According to poor water management, the participants mentioned that when it has more water during rainy seasons and their crops are flooded, and at dry seasons they have no water to use.

- Infrastructure and information is main interests of participants because if community people do not get to know any information of climate issues, they cannot contribute to reducing climate impacts. At the same time, the infrastructure, (canal, lake of water store, pond) are key resource of contribution of climate change impact reduction and prevention if their community has none of them, their lives are to meet disasters such as draughts and floods. Some cases vulnerable groups migrated to Thailand to sell their labor

We have combined the priority?s needs of groups of women, men CBOs , and local authorities as following:
- Construct water dam
- Fix canal and pond
- Dig well
- Install defends around community pond
- To establish committee
- Renovate canal
- Need hand tractor in village to use for agriculture
- Support agricultural technical
- Need animal raising (Chicken and pig) and crop diversification (Rice)
- Need seed bank for providing capital to vulnerable groups
- Need cow bank

According to priority?s need of vulnerable communities in order to address the climate change, we have raised up key strategies involving 1). Rehabilitation and construction irrigation and increased livelihoods; 2). Capacity building 3). Support the seed bank and cow bank. 4) Developing the knowledge management and improve effective project management for sharing document.

1.2 Objectives
The overall gaol of the project is to reduce climate change impacts and increase capacity of communities to adaption to climate change hazards through raising awareness on climate change impacts and improve livelihoods of communities. Specific objectives are as follows:

Objective 1: to improve income of 290 families through effective use and better management of irrigation systems for increasing rice production, and crop diversification by early2012.
Objective 2: to build the adaptive capacity of communities, CBOs, NGOs and Commune council on climate change issues by getting them involved in activities (individual and community) such as tree planting , water use management and diversify crops/integrated farming and cooperate with commune facilitator and district focal point to facilitate communities to participate in Commune Development Planning (CDP) and Commune Investment Planning (CIP)
Objective 3: to promote alternative livelihood of vulnerable groups to get services and capital from seed bank and cow bank in five villages of two commune
Objective 4: to share good practice and lesson learnt of project results to policy maker and other communities
