aim to improve local livelihoods through the development of inclusive horticulture and aquaculture value chains that promote climate-smart and sustainable production, empower women�s economic development, and enhance access to finance of local stakeholders.
This will be achieved by developing the peanut, white leg shrimp and shrimp-mangrove value chains that offer potential to local communities and households in terms of improved and sustainable income and opportunities to escape poverty. CDP Tra Vinh also builds
capacity and confidence for women in project areas (especially ethnic Khmers) as decision-makers and leaders at the household level, communities, and cooperatives/businesses.
