ANNOUNCEMENT
Dialogue between Policy makers and Development and Research
workers on Agriculture, Farmers and Rural Development
13-14 December, 2008
Policy carries its important role for and
impact on production and livings of the rural population.
For this reason, the government of Vietnam has introduced a
number of policies and strategies with main aim at reducing
poverty and promoting the rural development. In the course
of this progress, much achievement has been gained.
Particularly, Vietnam has been one of the most successful in
poverty reduction - reduced from 58 percent in 1993 to 18
percent in 2007, and increased per capita income at 2,7
times in the year of 2007 as compared to the 2000 as
confirmed by prime minister Nguyen Sinh Hung.
Despite that, Vietnam is still poor country with high
poverty rate and poor livings standards, especially rural
population in remote and mountainous areas. The efficiency
of policy intervention, less or more, has not yet met the
stated expectations as well as the rural population’s needs,
resulting in negative influence on the socio-econimic
aspects of the rural sector and rural population.
Emerged from this practice, The Centre for Rural Development
in Central, Vietnam (CRD) and The project on Research
Cooperation for Sustainable Rural Development in Vietnam (RDViet)
- Hue University of Agriculture and Forestry (HUAF) decided
to join our efforts in organizing in Hue city, Vietnam a
workshop on “Dialogue between policy makers and research &
development workers on Agriculture, Farmers and Rural
Development”. This workshop would help to build a bridge and
forum between policy makers at different levels and
researchers and development workers, within which they can
share and discuss information, experiences, and issues
related to formation, implementation and impact of policy on
agriculture, farmers and rural development
(more details...).
