Check the effectiveness of the project in the agricultural production chain.
In the first 6 months of 2025, the Project was approved by IFAD and the Provincial People's Committee. The Ben Tre CSAT Project Management Board (PMU) focused on implementing activities according to plan, with the following results achieved.
For Component 1: Develop a value chain development plan within the framework of the SEDP master plan and the Mekong Region Plan, identify participating enterprises and develop a value chain development plan. Review and update medium-term provincial socio-economic development plans (SEDPs) (2021 - 2025), with a vision to 2050. The activities in this sub- component are specific, aiming to serve the work of developing local socio-economic development plans. However, in the current period, implementing the policy of merging administrative units, these activities have not been temporarily implemented to ensure effectiveness and suitability to the new context.
Activities carried out when the government system at all levels is stable include:
Learning from experience: Visit and exchange experiences on advanced SEDP or climate change adaptation planning in provinces and leading professional organizations.
Participate in workshops and dialogues: Attend national and regional events related to planning and development.
Technical support: Sign contracts with specialized organizations on climate change adaptation and socio-economic development planning to support the implementation process.
Research, Evaluation: Conduct in-depth research on planning and development.
Value Chain Action Plan (VCAP), in 2024, the Project has successfully developed and deployed 8 VCAPs (Value Chain Action Plans) to authorities at all levels and communities in the province. The VCAPs have clearly defined the content, roadmap and implementation resources, creating a solid foundation for the Project to continue implementing activities in the coming years.
