| Title: | Vietnam – Project for Adaption to Climate Change in the Mekong Delta in Ben Tre and Tra Vinh Provinces (AMD) – April 2023 |
| Description: |
Mrs. Nguyen Thi Tu Anh, 36 years old and married with 2 children, ties coconut fibre brooms in the production facility operated by Mrs. Nguyen Thi Chi. Chi established the facility in 2016, thanks to a Co-Financing for Adaptation Fund (CFAF) grant received through AMD. Coconut is one of the main products and sources of income for people in the Mekong Delta, with more than 70 thousand hectares in production in Ben Tre province. In addition to the coconut fruit itself, all parts of the plant are used for a variety of products. Anh is one of 11 women in her community who enjoy stable part-time employment in the facility. Each of them earns some income (VND 3 million, or about US$140 per month) and still have time to take care of their families. 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. |
