SNV (www.snv.org) is a not-for-profit international development organization. Founded in the Netherlands 50 years ago, we have built a long-term, local presence in 38 of the poorest countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Our global team of local and international advisors work with local partners to equip communities, businesses and organizations with the tools, knowledge and connections they need to increase their incomes and gain access to basic services – empowering them to break the cycle of poverty and guide their own development.
SNV has been working in Vietnam since 1995. Using market-based approaches, SNV is committed to reducing poverty by catalysing environmentally sustainable solutions for the poor in agriculture, energy, water & sanitation, and REDD+.
Building on the success of the "AgResults Vietnam Emissions Reduction Challenge Project” (AVERP) in Thai Binh province, funded by the Australian Embassy in Vietnam, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), SNV Netherlands Development Organisation continues working with government partners at central and provincial levels to design the Project: “Transforming Rice Value Chains for Climate Resilient and Sustainable Development in the Mekong Delta (TRVC)”.

Thereby, the Project will play a catalytic role in creating the transformation of rice production and trading towards sustainability and bringing inclusive values ??in the most rice-intensive production provinces in the Mekong Delta; actively contribute to the achievement of sustainable and climate-resilient development in the Mekong Delta.
