Country Programme Review Workshop in Ha Tinh, July 2008
Along with the establishment of IFAD Representative Office in VietNam, the IFAD country programme in VietNam has expanded its investment and grant activities. So far, IFAD has financed eight projects, with a total loan commitment of about USD 170 million. On-going projects include: (i) the Rural Income Diversification Project (RIDP) in Tuyen Quang; (ii) the Decentralized Program for Rural Poverty Reduction (DPPR) in Ha Giang and Quang Binh; and (iii) the Program for Improving Market Participation of the Poor Program (IMPP) in Ha Tinh and Tra Vinh and (iv) the Developing Business with the Rural Poor Programme in Cao Bang and Ben Tre provinces (DBRP). The new province of Bac Kan is expected to start implementation in early 2009. In addition, 21 regional grant projects include VietNam in implementation.
Programme implementation is more challenging not only in terms of the scale of activities but also in its innovative approach. In five of the seven provinces, IFAD supports the implementation of a market-oriented poverty reduction approach, linking the rural poor with market opportunities, building partnership with private sector in the business-oriented poverty reduction initiatives. These innovations are in line with the National SEDP 2006 – 2010 leading the agriculture sector and rural farmers towards the economic integration and sustainable development after the accession to WTO.
All PPMU staffs in DPPR Ha Giang is equipped with a Skype ID and
they are connected whenever their computers are ON. This is found as
a good tool for communication among project staffs as it: reduces
cost for telephone calls, saves time (as you can do two or more
things at the same time while you have your conversations/chats at
your desk/computer, and it's very direct (you can ask a question and
get a quick answer at any time during working hours).
The disadvantage of this tool is that we need high-speed internet
connect in all office so that the computer is always connected.
Besides, the telephone conference line is not always so clear.
Therefore, sending 'chat' messages still is the best use of Skype for
quick and immediate information exchange.
