| Title: | Vietnam – Project for Adaption to Climate Change in the Mekong Delta in Ben Tre and Tra Vinh Provinces (AMD) – April 2023 |
| Description: |
Ms. Nguyen Van Anh, 16 years old, is wrapping and vacuum-sealing spring rolls before taking them to the market. She is one of five people who have gained employment at the Thanh Van Vegetarian Spring Roll production facility in Phu Ninh hamlet, Ben Tre province. She earns an average income of about VND 6 million per month (US$ 250). Mrs. Nguyen Thi Hong Van owns and operates the Thanh Van Vegetarian Spring Roll production facility. In 2018, she accessed a loan through the Co-Financing for Adaptation Fund (CFAF) facility of the Adaptation in the Mekong Delta in the Ben Tre and Tra Vinh Provinces (AMD) project. Van invested in a machine to cook pomelo pith, used as spring roll filling, and expanded her facility. She has created employment for people in her community, like Anh, providing a good income-generating opportunity and enabling them to escape poverty. 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 54,000 smallholder farmer households by generating sustainable income opportunities and improved rural livelihoods, reaching an estimated 210,000 people. To this end, AMD invests in climate resilient, inclusive, and remunerative value chain opportunities, including coconut, fruits, and aquaculture. |
