A range of small-scale projects including new roads, bridges, drainage canals, irrigation and water supply systems, as well as flood protection structures, have been undertaken across the South East Asian island nation.
Crucially, the infrastructure is able to withstand increasingly frequent extreme weather events like flooding and landslides which may be due to climate change.
