SRD's Annual Partner Meeting

The Centre for Sustainable Rural Development (SRD) held its 2012 Annual Partner Meeting on January 21 2013 - the second meeting in Hanoi. The meeting had the participation of representatives from different organisations including Manos Unidas, Winrock, SNV, Global Environment Facility (GEF), and members of consultancies and SRD’s staff.

The Annual Partner meeting is held to exchange and discuss information between SRD, donors, and partners about activities from the past year as well as strategies for SRD in the next year. In this meeting, in addition to reviewing activities from 2012 and plans for 2013, SRD also introduced and consulted on the Third Strategic Plan for 2013-2017 period.

In 2012, SRD achieved great success in expanding and implementing project activities as well as continuing to improve organisational structure. Moreover, SRD has continued to develop with twelve large and small projects implemented in nine provinces, including two new provinces: Quang Tri province and Ha Tinh province. Direct and indirect beneficiaries have continued to increase and the vast majorities are poor famers, people living with disabilities, women, children, and ethnic minorities. The approved budget in 2012 is 1.072 million USD and has increased 11.5 percent from 2011. The year 2012 marked a key milestone for SRD as the Second Strategic Plan (2008-2012) finished with good results from the objectives that have built, and contributed significantly to poverty reduction in Vietnam.

Based on these achievements, the Third Strategic Plan (2013-2017) period will continue to focus on three areas: Sustainable Agriculture and Livelihoods, Climate Change, and Policy Advocacy.

In the meeting, SRD, donors, and partners discussed the difficulties of project implementation in local areas and donors and partners openly shared their main strategic plans and opportunities for cooperation with SRD in the next year.
