About
OverviewThe JP aims to increase income and employment opportunities for the rural poor by targeting some 4,000 raw material growers and grassroots producers of handicrafts and small furniture from rural communes and ethnic minorities. It supported the handicrafts sector in the four northern provinces Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Hoa Binh and Phu Tho as an important source of income for small farmers and landless poor. These provinces were selected due to the high incidence of poverty, especially among ethnic minorities; the concentration of raw materials and local production of crafts; and the possibility to build synergies with past and ongoing development activities. Under outcome 1, through the preparation of baseline and value chain studies, Participatory Rural Appraisals were conducted to identify specific interventions, and Local Economic Development (LED) forums were organized allowing local stakeholders to review, update and prioritize activities. In order to increase incomes of craft raw material growers/collectors under outcome 2, training materials were developed on planting, cultivating and harvesting raw materials in five value chains and Training of Trainers was conducted. Availability of seedlings was improved through the creation of nursery gardens. The JP reached nearly 2,000 farmers through Farmer Field Schools. Farmer groups with developed action plans were established, and commitment from provinces and communes to continue support and upscale areas was secured. Through Outcome 3, over 1,500 craft producers were guided to make their production cleaner and more sustainable, and support was provided to improve lacquer processing, bamboo treatment and silk dying. In addition, 52 business groups were established and producers of 10 communes were provided with tools, equipment and techniques to improve productivity and to decrease resource use. Companies strengthened their entrepreneurial skills and behavior through training, improved product designs and were enabled to identify critical environmental bottlenecks, with pilot models for new cleaner production techniques in 14 companies A manual on branding handicraft towards sustainability including checklist of sustainable criteria, scoring system, labeling scheme were developed. Under outcome 4 the JP supported the establishment of forums in 4 provinces to foster local dialogue and ownership on Value Chain (VC) upgrading, in addition, Provincial Advisory Boards were established to foster interdepartmental collaboration and to promote income and employment opportunities. Support was provided to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to make the Prime-Minister’s Decision on incentive policies for rattan and bamboo operational.
