Laos Component. ■Background and Objective The objective of the project is to improve access to safe and sustainable water for the most vulnerable communities in Laos, in particular in provinces where piped water supply is not available and the communities must rely on surface groundwater ▇▇▇▇▇ and traditional rainwater harvesting systems using large size clay containers to store rainwater during the monsoon seasons. From the first phase since 2013, the project has been able to secure access to safe and sustainable water sources in three villages in Attapeu Province through construction of the Rainwater Harvesting Tank developed by Daiken Inc. of Fukuoka, Japan. In this phase covered in the Amendment 7, the project will organize a technical workshop and awareness campaign to the resident communities in Attapeu Province where the Daiken Tank was constructed. The project will coordinate with ‘Enhancing the climate and disaster resilience of the most vulnerable rural and emerging urban human settlements in Lao PDR’ a separate ongoing project implemented by the Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific. ■Laos component budget: US$5,000 (UN exchange rate for March 2018: US$1.00=JPY107.21) ■Implementation strategies and activities The project will be implemented jointly by UN-Habitat Laos Office with technical assistance from Daiken Inc., the developers of the rainwater harvesting tank. ■Implementation period: 42 months from June 2016 to November 2019 The following components are a no-cost extension of the activities written in Amendment 8 above. The project will be extended up to 30 June 2020, based on the approval of the donor. This amendment (Amendment 8) is made for further extension of activities due to changes in schedules of events.

Laos Component. ■Background and Objective The objective of the project is to improve access to safe and sustainable water for the most vulnerable communities in Attapeu Province, where piped water supply is not available and the communities had to rely on surface groundwater ▇▇▇▇▇ and traditional rainwater harvesting systems using large size clay containers to store rainwater during the monsoon seasons. In this project, a unique underground rainwater harvesting tank, developed by Daiken Inc. of Fukuoka, Japan, will be constructed in conjunction with a new community center which will be constructed in Attapeu Province for women of the community. (The construction of the Community Center is a separate project, however will be coordinated as a joint effort through Attapeu Province Office.) The tank, together with the community center, will empower and enable women to participate in social and educational activities, and provide safe and sustainable water during the dry seasons without long travel from the conventional water sources. The tank was first introduced in Laos in 2013-2014 as part of the earlier phase of the Water for Life Project. Two tanks stored approximately total 100 tons of rainwater underground and enabled the community to use the water for four months during the dry season. ■Laos Component Budget: USD16,000 (UN exchange rate $1@JPY104.50 as of July 2016) ■Implementation strategies and activities The project will be implemented jointly by UN-Habitat Laos Office, Attapeu Province Office, and by technical assistance from Daiken Inc., the developers of the rainwater harvesting tank. ■Implementation period: 21 months from June 2016 to March 2018 Both two projects will target the most vulnerable, poorer and/or isolated communities, whom without this assistance, would be difficult to obtain access to safe and sustainable water. It is therefore a very meaningful project, and is also an opportunity for the technology companies in Fukuoka and the Kyushu region to contribute to improving the living environment of the people in Asia region by utilizing their expertise. * The project locations are subject to change, subject to unavoidable conditions such as weather, availability of materials, security of the beneficiaries and partners involved. * The project budget includes costs such as purchase of necessary materials, technical assistance, testing and monitoring, travel, awareness building campaign and events, AOS and so on. The actual cost will be disbursed in US dol...

In this phase, the project will provide technical assistance for further replications of the tanks in southern provinces of Laos. The project will focus on technical assistance which will include design, technical advice, and supervision of construction, while the cost for construction of the tank including materials, heavy vehicles, and labor, will be covered by ‘Enhancing the climate and disaster resilience of the most vulnerable rural and emerging urban human settlements in Lao PDR’ a separate project to be implemented by the Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific. ■Laos component budget: US$5,000 (UN exchange rate for March 2018: US$1.00=JPY107.21) ■Implementation strategies and activities The project will be implemented jointly by UN-Habitat Laos Office with technical assistance from Daiken Inc., the developers of the rainwater harvesting tank. ■Implementation period: 34 months from June 2016 to March 2019 The following components are an extension of the activities written in Amendment 6 above. Activity components for both Laos and Nepal and budget remain unchanged, while duration of the project will be extended up to 30 November 2019, based on the approval of the donor.
