Main objectives:

Communication of  relevant parts of the Mekong Delta Plan and elaborated principles for subsectors and subregions to relevant local government representatives and farmers in the Vietnam Mekong Delta region

 General overview- The Mekong Delta Plan (MDP) contains specific recommendations for a safe, sustainable, and prosperous long-term development for the upper delta, the estuary zone and the peninsula area as well as more generic recommendations on institutional strengthening and transboundary cooperation.

- The MDP recommendations have been fully endorsed by a large number of development partners, and since 2014 frequent “Mekong Delta Working Group” meetings have been organized, aiming to align project activities with the MDP.

- To facilitate the timely implementation and efficient coordination of the project, we have established a layered approach, in which our experts formulate the basic messages to be conveyed and facilitate an interactive and dynamics process for better translation of the MDP strategy on the ground level where a transition is envisaged.
