A three-year programme commencing in 2023 and targeting the communities in Duyen Hai Town and Duyen Hai District aims to bolster resilience and improve livelihoods in the face of risks posed by climate change. Spearheaded by Climate Investor One's Tra Vinh Wind Power (TWPC) Project and its community development partner SNV Netherlands Development Organisation (SNV), the initiative focuses on enhancing sustainability and inclusivity in the horticulture and aquaculture sectors.
The programme beneficiaries are living in three communes in the TWPC Project area: Truong Long Hoa commune and Long Toan commune in Duyen Hai Town; and Ngu Lac commune in Duyen Hai District. It is focused on three core thematic areas:
1. Improving Climate Smart and Sustainable Agricultural Production
2. Developing Horticulture and Aquaculture Value Chains
3. Gender Equality and Women Economic Empowerment
Mr. Lê Văn Minh (pictured), a shrimp farmer in Long Toan commune who is developing skills in sustainable shrimp farming supported by the TWPC Project commented "The 100,000 shrimp larvae I received are growing well and the water quality metering tools shared amongst the organized farmer group are very useful to make farming more effective. I would like to thank the donor and the project.”
By promoting sustainable and inclusive agricultural practices, the initiative aims to improve livelihoods, household income and climate resilience.
