style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The
World Bank Poverty Assessment 2012 identifies and describes
Vietnam's major challenges in the country's development in
particular those co-existing in ethnic minority communities. In
2010, the population of ethnic minority only accounts for 14,5%
of the whole country, however, they hold nearly half amount of
the poor nationwide. With the poverty rate of 66,3%, it is five
time higher than the Kinh's. Additionally, that getting access
to land and public services is more limited in ethnic
minorities; several government policies bring more benefits for
the Kinh migrants than the local people. Obviously, overcoming
poverty, inequality amongst ethnic minorities must be tightly
concerned.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><br>
The work on positive deviation adds a very important perspective
by highlighting pathways out of poverty. Ethnic minorities are
leading their own development. We need to break through the
strong narrative of EM “lagging behind”. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
