Nearly 30,000 local residents in these communes, mainly belonging to Pa Co, Van Kieu, Mong, Tay, Muong and Dao ethnic groups, are expected to be the beneficiaries of the programme which looks to increase the capacity of responding to natural disasters of children, enhance community-based disaster risk management, and improve women’s economic capacity.
Seán Farrell, Ireland’s Deputy Ambassador, said this is one of the most important programmes in Vietnam and the region.
Pham Thu Ba, Acting Country Director of Plan International Vietnam, emphasised that through the programme, ethnic minority communities, especially girls, people with disabilities and women in extremely difficult communes in Hoa Binh and Quang Tri will have their capacity improved to be able to cope with and adapt to climate change; and have the opportunity to access basic services and participate in economic development models to improve their life./.
