2024 – Innovative Solutions to Climate Change Adaptation and
Disaster Risk Reduction from Project LAWA – Local Adaptation
to Water Access
Led by the Government of the Philippines and with the
assistance of WFP Philippines, Project LAWA is a
sustainable solution which alleviates the challenges of
water scarcity faced by local communities in periods of
severe drought. This report summarizes the pilot
implementation of LAWA and the current nationwide scale-up
by the Government of the Philippines. It contains evidence
from the findings of the pilot and recommendations to help
inform LAWA at scale.
The report compiles lessons learned from Project LAWA’s
pilot implementation in 2023. Evidence from the pilot
showed LAWA’s immense potential to boost communities’
water supplies, enhance their adaptive capacities
especially during El Niño or severe droughts, and
generate livelihoods.
