Background

In October to November 2003 two training workshops were organized to introduce the Sustainable Livelihoods (SL) approach in Vietnam. These were part of a series of workshops that DFID has been supporting for partners in several countries worldwide. Although a number of research and development projects have been using the SL approach in Vietnam in recent years, this was the first event designed to systematically adapt SL thinking and practice to the Vietnamese context and to conduct training with a range of partners and stakeholder groups.

The workshops were co-hosted by DFID and the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) and formed one of the activities of the Partnership to Assist the Poorest Communes (PAC). They were run with support from the Centre for International Development Training (CIDT) of the University of Wolverhampton in UK, and the Learning Resource Centre and Localized Poverty Reduction Centre of Hue University in Vietnam.
