Funded by the Australian Government through the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR), the project, which will end in December, works with 10 ACIAR projects with a total investment of 17 million AUD (13 million USD), focusing on the value chain development in Vietnam and some Southeast Asian countries.

In the project’s framework, six field studies were carried out on how gender norms and relations affect agricultural practices, identify gender-based opportunities and challenges for ethnic male and female farmers. Also, it built a database for gender equality research and development, as well as establish a network for agricultural and gender scientists in the region.

The workshop brought together government officials and researchers from Vietnam, Myanmar, the Philippines, Laos and Cambodia, and ethnic farmers from the northern provinces of Son La and Dien Bien.

ACIAR is part of the Australian Government’s Development Assistance Programme and contributes to that programme’s objectives of helping developing countries reduce poverty and achieve sustainable development. To date, ACIAR has commissioned and managed more than 1,500 research projects in around 36 countries. More than 150 institutions in partner countries have involved in collaborative projects with over 50 Australian research organizations.
