Grant Description

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Vietnam and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) have entered into a limited scope grant agreement to launch a new activity promoting climate resilient agriculture (CRA) in the Mekong Delta (or, morecolloquially, the Delta).

The Mekong CRA Activity (the Activity) aims to increase climate resilience, reduce methane emissions from the agriculture sector, increase sequestration of greenhouse gas emissions in the Mekong Delta, and conserve biodiversity. The Activity will implement four mutually reinforcing approaches that respectively seek to: 1.

Expand low methane emission agricultural development; 2. Build climate resilience for vulnerable communities; 3. Promote nature-based solutions; and 4. Develop climate resilient and low emission development policies.
