New Zealand Ambassador, Dr James Kember, and Vice Chairwoman of Binh Dinh People’s Committee Nguyen Thi Thanh Binh on July 31 signed the sustainable rural livelihood project funded by the New Zealand Government.
New Zealand’s International Aid and Development Agency Manager, Margaret Lowe, and representatives of relevant bodies also attended the ceremony.
The project has a total capital of 2.14 million USD, of which the NZ government finances more than 1.7 million USD and the province contributes the rest.
It aims to help Binh Dinh province to improve capacity for its agriculture business sector, thus bringing sustainable socio-economic benefit to poor households in the province.
The four-year project includes support to help Tuy Phuoc and Tay Son districts increase recognised safe vegetable volume, development of marketing chances for small coconut tree-growing households in Hoai Nhon and Phu My districts, improving the efficiency of small and large-scaled cattle breeding systems, and effectively linking poor farmers to markets and project management.
At the ceremony, Binh expressed many thanks to the New Zealand Government for its support for Binh Dinh in fields of education, health, and agriculture.
Dr. Kember said Binh Dinh was one of long-term partners in implementing New Zealand Government-funded projects.
