After three years of implementation, the project “Improving the Livelihoods of Ethnic Minority Communities in Son La Province through Agriculture and Nutrition Improvement” has delivered positive results in improving livelihoods and nutrition while strengthening women’s roles within their families. At its closing workshop in Hanoi on September 24, stakeholders reviewed key achievements and lessons learned and discussed ways to sustain and scale up effective models.

In Truong Son Commune (Quang Tri), an area affected by mining activities, a bamboo shoot cultivation model is opening up new livelihood opportunities for the Bru-Van Kieu community. With support from Oxfam in Vietnam, local people are gradually gaining access to technical knowledge, participating in value chains, and stabilizing their incomes.

From poor households struggling to put food on the table, many families in Thanh Hoa have now found a way out thanks to a value chain-based duck farming model. The partnership between World Vision International in Vietnam and Mavin Group not only provides breeding stock and technical support but also opens a path to sustainable livelihoods, offering women and children a brighter future.

These are the key outcomes of the “She Thrives” project after three years of implementation (2022–2025), shared at the project’s closing ceremony held on August 12 in Dak Lak.
