Building sustainable, climate-resilient rural livelihoods in Viet Nam

Poverty has become overwhelmingly rural in Viet Nam. The vast majority of poor people belong to ethnic minorities living in remote areas, which are also highly frequently impacted by climate-related disasters.

The Project for Adaptation to Climate Change in the Mekong Delta in the Ben Tre and Tra Vinh Provinces (AMD) strengthened the resilience and adaptive capacity of 60,000 smallholder farmer households by generating sustainable income opportunities and improving rural livelihoods.

This photo book tells the stories of ten people who benefited from AMD. Three years after the project closed, the rural businesses they built have proven to be sustainable, enabling them to escape poverty and contribute to the well-being of their families and communities.
