AgResults Vietnam Emissions Reduction Pilot - Terms of Reference for Infographic Animation Production
1. Introduction
As an agricultural-based economy, rice production and export play a key role in creating jobs and livelihoods for more than 70% of the population of Vietnam. According to the United National Framework Convention on Climate Change, the agriculture sector accounts for 33% of total non-carbon dioxide GHG emissions, of which rice cultivation accounts for approximately 50%. To address this challenge, the AgResults Vietnam Emissions Reduction Pilot has been designed to develop, test, and scale up innovative technologies, tools, and approaches to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the land cultivation and production stages for rice, ultimately reducing poverty, protecting the environment, and preparing for climate change. The project utilizes a pull mechanism, an innovative finance mechanism that provides monetary incentives to a diverse pool of actors to overcome market barriers to achieve significant GHG emissions reductions. The project will be implemented in Thai Binh province in the Red River Delta of Vietnam for the period of 2016 – 2021.
AgResults is a US $123 million multilateral initiative between the governments of Australia, Canada, the U.K. and U.S. and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to incentivize and reward high-impact agricultural innovations that promote global food security, health, and nutrition and benefit smallholder farmers. AgResults originated at the June 2010 G20 Summit in Toronto, where leaders committed to exploring innovative results focused methods of harnessing private sector innovations in food security and improving productivity in developing countries. The initiative is currently running six pilots in Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Nigeria, Vietnam, and one globally.
The AgResults Vietnam Emissions Reduction Pilot is encouraging a wide range of established entities to participate in the project (‘Solvers’) with the aim to achieve the project’s objectives and receive a cash prize after their results are verified.
