ultimate responsibility for the implementation and management of the Project's activities and resources. SNV, coordinating with the Department of Crop Production (DCP) under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), the Provincial People’s

the core themes of gender equality and social inclusion, climate adaptation and mitigation, and strong institutions and effective governance. Together with our team of over 1,600 people, our mission is to strengthen capacities and catalyse partnerships that
transform the agri-food, energy, and water systems, which enable sustainable and more equitable lives for all.

government partners at central and provincial levels to design and implement the project
<b>“Transforming Rice Value Chains for Climate Resilient and Sustainable Development in the Mekong Delta (TRVC)” (“TRVC Project”
</b>or<b> “Project”)</b>. The TRVC project is expected to be implemented in three (03) key rice-growing provinces in the Mekong Delta, including An Giang, Dong Thap, and Kien Giang, from 2023 to 2027. SNV, as the TRVC Project Manager (Project Manager), holds
ultimate responsibility for the implementation and management of the Project's activities and resources. SNV, coordinating with the Department of Crop Production (DCP) under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), the Provincial People’s
Committee, and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) of 3 provinces An Giang, Dong Thap and Kien Giang, will co-deploy and supervise the Project activities. The international verifier recruited by SNV (<b>Verifier</b>), along with the
advisory council including international and Vietnamese scientists and policymakers (<b>Advisory Council</b>), will jointly monitor and supervise the verification process and results to ensure accuracy and transparency.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

in the context of climate change in the Mekong Delta; and at the same time carries out the national target on reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG). Using the Pay-for-Results (PfRs) mechanism, the TRVC Project will incentivize and attract the participation
of private enterprises in the Rice Value Chain, aiming to scale up innovative technologies to achieve higher economic outcomes for smallholder farmers (SHFs) and all Rice Value Chain actors, improve rice quality and inclusive social values while reducing greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions and mitigating environmental footprints as co-benefits. Thereby, the TRVC Project will support the implementation of the Australian Government's development priorities and commitments on climate finance in the region and a shared commitment
