implementation work commenced on 10 April 2008 by CARE. The last to commence was World Vision in towards the end of 2009. This IPR was conducted at the mid-point of the implementation phase for some activities, but in the early stages for others. Overview LANGOCA is a five-year program (2007-2012) with a total budget of AUD 14 million. The LANGOCA goal is: To reduce the vulnerability of the poor (by integrating poverty reduction and crosscutting issues with disaster management and UXO approaches in Laos). Two substantive objectives were defined to contribute to this goal: Objective 1: To reduce the impact of natural and man-made disasters. Objective 2: To reduce the impact of unexploded ordnance. Two additional objectives were concerned with internal processes of learning/ collaboration and management. LANGOCA supports five long-term activities (LTA) in five provinces of Laos (Khammouan, Saravan, Sayabouli, Sekong and Vientiane) and five related short-term activities (STA). The LANGOCA portfolio is summarised in the following matrix.
