[Ngo-emwg] Discourse on Cultural Diversity in development

[EMWG]

Dear EMWGers,

"Vietnamis a country of 54 ethnic groups with different features of 
culture, economy and society. Properly responding to the diversity 
becomes more and more important when the cultural and economic 
integration between ethnic groups and countries gets increased rapidly. 
In the development process, the community cannot replace their culture 
with other cultures. In contrast, no community can be tied and refuse to 
adapt for changes. Therefore, people and communities are pro-active 
subjects to decide to preserve the cultural identities and dispose what 
is no longer appropriate and they have full right to self-determination"
I would like to share with you a discourse on Cultural diversity in 
development programs in ethnic minority communities by EMWG

Thank you and warm regards
Hoa Nguyen
