economic collaboration for development (ECCODE) project is funded by EU and
CARE Denmark. The overall objective of project is “<i><span

population of Thai Nguyen province by ensuring access to economic resources and
influence over decisions that affect their lives</span></i>”. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-align:justify'><font size=2

objective of project is: “<i><span style='font-style:italic'>12,000 poor

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-align:justify'><font size=2
face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The project adopts
and promotes market-based and demand-based approaches to service delivery. This
entails raising incomes through promotion of value chain and market-based
transactions and activities by the beneficiaries rather than direct support
from the project. As clearly indicated in the project document, to enable poor
farmers to have improvement of their production, improve access to sustainable
financial resource is essential. Following market based approach; however, direct
provision of credit by the project is discouraged, by several initial studies,
which showed that substantial credit is already available to many rural
households. These include subsidised credit lines based on state policy lending
as well as collateralised credit at market terms. However, it was also found
that there are still needs to fill gaps in credit allocation, particularly
among the poor and landless who cannot use land certificates as collateral. The
project will thus provide modest additional credit funds which will be
earmarked for beneficiaries who are excluded from existing credit systems. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-align:justify'><font size=2
