Rural Income Diversification Project in Tuyen Quang Province
Poor people in 900 villages in the upland
areas of Tuyen Quang province, most of them ethnic minorities, are
participating in a project to identify their needs. The project provides
training in agriculture and animal husbandry, credit, marketing and
food storage and processing. Agricultural training is complemented by
demonstration plots that show the success of new techniques and varieties
under local conditions. The project is working to improve infrastructure,
health services and credit. It is also strengthening village-level
institutions, such as savings and credit groups, user groups and village
development boards.
