Edition 1

Synopsis (short abstract) Viet Nam has seen remarkable progress in the reduction of rural poverty in recent decades, with the agriculture sector making a substantial contribution. In 2017, the sector had a growth rate of almost three percent per year, with the livestock sector being one of the fastest growing subsectors. However, the sector is faced by many challenges, including the growing demand for high-quality, safe and consistent livestock products, difficulties related to diseases, and growing environmental pollution caused by livestock waste from intensive livestock production and processing. Efforts to understand and manage changes in the livestock sector as a whole have been inadequate. The lack of sufficient and relevant data, analysis and an evaluation/monitoring system is a critical gap with regard to making informed policy choices. The project was designed to provide technical support in the development of livestock analysis and monitoring systems and tools, and to put in place a scalable pilot based on relevant typologies of production systems.

    Although the poor constitute a majority in developing countries, their circumstances vary in significant ways between and within their economies. To improve their livelihoods, a better understanding of this heterogeneity is essential. This report examines poverty from the perspective of livestock dependence, an essential characteristic of rural and peri-urban households in developing countries. We find that livestock dependent populations are more likely to be poor, but the degree of their pover ty depends on complex local circumstances, including the extent of formal sector participation, property rights, and access to capital. Our insights suggest that more determined efforts to promote smallholder livestock production can be a potent catalyst for poverty alleviation, but that policies aimed at promotion of smallholder livestock keepers need to be carefully targeted and that although they can bring a large proportion of the poor over the poverty threshold, there are circumstances in w hich they will not reach the poorest population.

    Strengthening the Agroclimatic Information System to Improve the Agricultural Drought Monitoring and Early Warning System in Viet Nam (News), Pilot Study in Ninh Thuan Province - TCP/VIE/3603 2020

    As a result of the effects of El Niño, from late 2014 to summer 2016, serious drought occurred in South Central Coast, Central Highland, and Southern Viet Nam. The main reasons were low rainfall, compared with the annual average rainfall in the same period, and no rainfall in some regions. It is estimated that thousands of hectares of rice and seasonal crops were affected. The drought management approach in the country mainly focuses on crisis management or emergency response, rather than implementing a proactive approach of risk management. In order to manage drought effectively, short-term drought predictions, monitoring and early warning, vulnerability assessment, as well as mitigation and response measures were required. The project aimed to improve the agricultural drought monitoring and National Early Warning System (NEWS) in Viet Nam, by implementing a pilot in one of the country’s drought-affected provinces,Ninh Thuan.
