Follow-up data collection for the research “Climate Smart Agriculture in Vietnam: Climate Change Response Modelling and Application”
The Mekong Delta, known for its rich and diverse ecosystems, plays a vital role as Vietnam’s key hub for agriculture and aquaculture. However, it is also among the most climate-vulnerable regions in Southeast Asia. Climate change has exacerbated the vulnerability of smallholder farmers and increasingly threatens their agricultural livelihoods. In this context, climate-based forecasts—grounded in […]
Project-level baseline assessment of the Australia-Vietnam Program for Gender Equality in Agriculture and Tourism 2 (GREAT 2)
Subsequent to GREAT 1, MDRI continues to perform baseline assessment for the phase 2 of the Australia-Vietnam Program for Gender Equality in Agriculture and Tourism (GREAT 2). GREAT 2 focuses on agriculture and tourism to promote women’s economic empowerment, particularly for ethnic minority women (EMWs) in Son La and Lao Cai. Using a Market System […]
Energy Transition and Climate-smart Agriculture in Vietnam
In recent years in Vietnam, energy transition has been in the spotlight following the country’s commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 at the 26th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP26) in November 2021. In that context, the Institute for Policy and Strategy for Agriculture and Rural […]
THRIVE 2030 Performance Baseline Evaluation in Vietnam
World Vision International is a global humanitarian organization dedicated to tackling poverty and injustice around the world. As part of its Livelihood Development Program, World Vision has formulated an eight-year economic empowerment business plan called “Transforming Household Resilience in Vulnerable Environments (THRIVE 2030)’’ to build resilient and sustainable livelihoods and enable parents and caregivers to […]
Research on Agriculture Insurance in Vietnam
The rise of extreme weather events in the Mekong Delta region poses an urgent threat to the livelihoods of millions, particularly those whose primary source of income is rice production. Addressing this problem, MDRI is working with the German Leibniz Institute for Economic Research (RWI) for a study on agriculture insurance in the region in […]
EUDR assessment of the coffee and timber sector in Vietnam
EFI, coordinated by UNDP, assisted MARD in preparing for the EUDR. EFI developed a summary framework and identified priority areas in Vietnam to provide the Government of Vietnam (GoV) and provincial authorities with insights into the main challenges of EUDR compliance in the coffee and commercial forestry sectors, along with potential negative impacts and market […]
Strengthening the resilience of smallholder agriculture to climate change-induced water insecurity in the Central Highlands and South-Central Coast regions of Vietnam (GCF2-SACCR Project) – Baseline Data Collection
Climate change modifies precipitation patterns, intensifying deficits in surface water and groundwater for agricultural production and affecting small-scale farming in the Central Highlands and South-Central Coast regions of Vietnam. Launched under that context, the project aimed to strengthen the resilience of small-scale farmers to climate change-induced water insecurity – particularly poor, near-poor, ethnic minority, and […]
Research for Climate-Smart Agriculture in Vietnam: Climate Change Response Modeling and Application
The Mekong Delta River is home to the most abundant biodiversity systems in Vietnam, thus becoming the vital hub for agriculture and aquaculture production in the country. However, this region is also considered as one of parts in Southeast Asia most threatened by climate change. The acceleration of climate change, therefore, exacerbates the level of […]
