Dear development practitioners,<br>
<br>
Currently, there are many development programmes targeting the
ethnic minorities and focusing on the poorest communes and districts
in Vietnam. Despite all efforts, the poverty rate of the group still
remains high. One of the main reasons is the lack of local
participation in the development, from the identification of needs
to monitoring activities. That mainstreaming local participation in
socio-economic development plan (SEDP) plays an important role in
improving their own life sustainably. <br>
<br>
In order to share some effective practices in strengthening local
participation in development programmes, the EMWG would like to
invite you to the sharing meeting with the following information:<br>
<u>Subject:</u><b> </b><b>Sharing on integration of local
participation in SEDP - good practices in Ha Giang, Hoa Binh and
Cao Bang provinces</b><br>
<u>Time: </u><b>9:00 - 12:00</b><br>
<u> Date:</u><b> </b><b>16th October (Thursday), 2014</b><br>
<u>Meeting venue: </u><b>Plan in Vietnam, Somerset Hoa Binh,
2nd floor, 106 Hoang Quoc Viet, Ha noi. </b><br>
<u> Language:</u> <b>Vietnamese. English translation will be
provided upon confirmation of participants</b><b><br>
</b><br>
Kindly find attached the invitation (both in English and Vietnamese)
for detailed information of this meeting.<br>
<br>
Please <b>confirm </b>your participation to Nguyen Thi Hoa (Ms.),
