The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment (MAE) has issued Decision No. 1948/QD-BNNMT approving the implementation plan for rural tourism development under the National Target Program on New Rural Development, Sustainable Poverty Reduction, and Socio-Economic Development in Ethnic Minority and Mountainous Areas for the 2026–2030 period.

The programme is implemented through the Embassy of Ireland in Viet Nam, in partnership with Plan International Viet Nam, CARE International in Viet Nam, and the Research Center for Initiative Development and Community Empowerment (RIC). Its activities focus on vulnerable groups, including ethnic minority communities, women, young people, and persons with disabilities. Extreme rainfall and flooding are increasingly exacerbating risks for vulnerable communities. Photo: VAN.
