Project development objectives
The programme goal is to improve the socio-economic status of the poorest households in Ha Giang and Quang Binh Provinces, with particular emphasis on the use of highly decentralized, community-driven development approaches operationalizing the Government's 'grassroots democratisation' legislation. This would be achieved by:
(i) enhancing the capabilities of local people to become active stakeholders in the management of commune and village-level institutions;
(ii) increasing the productivity and income levels of poor households, ethnic minorities and women, and improving their household food security;
(iii) reinforcing the ongoing decentralization processes, with emphasis on village-level infrastructure;
(iv) establishing decentralized programme management structures and delivery services responsive to the priorities of the target group; and
(v) developing local capabilities to bridge the gap between national-level policies and provincial implementation of initiatives on decentralization.
