1. Introduction:
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child but know this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion, and discrimination. And it is girls who are most affected. Working together with children, young people, supporters, and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges girls and vulnerable children face. We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood, and we enable children to prepare for and respond to crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national, and global levels using our reach, experience, and knowledge. For over 85 years, we have rallied other determined optimists to transform the lives of all children in more than 80 countries. We won’t stop until we are all equal.
Plan International has been working in northern and central Vietnam since 1993. Our work supports marginalised children and youth, especially adolescent girls, to start life and grow up physically and mentally healthy and as adolescents so they are leading the way to shape their own future. We believe girls have the power to change the world. Our ambition is to work alongside them and together take action so that 2 million girls in Vietnam can learn, lead, decide and thrive by 2027.
Plan’s project “Promoting Inclusive Climate-Smart Agriculture and Entrepreneurship for Ethnic Minority Youth and Women in Lai Chau” aims to improve livelihoods, strengthen resilience to climate change and promote inclusive participation of ethnic minority youth and women in climate-resilient agricultural value chains. The Project will be implemented in three communes, namely Dao San, Khong Lao and Sin Ho with three specific objectives: (1) Strengthen the adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices in production and post-harvest activities among farmers, especially young and female ethnic minority farmers; (2) Enhance the economic empowerment and sustained participation of ethnic minority youth and women through inclusive, market-linked cooperatives; (3) Strengthen early action capacity and climate adaptation through the integration of early warning and adaptation planning into local agricultural systems.
