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.
