Helvetas Helps Strengthen Land Access for Ethnic People in Vietnam

On May 26, Helvetas and the Center for Rural Communities Research and Development (CCRD) under Land Alliance (LANDA) co-organized a seminar to end “Strengthening Land Rights of Ethnic Minorities” in the northern province of Hoa Binh.

The project, which was implemented from 2020 to 2023, aimed to contribute to the effective promotion and protection of land and forest resource rights of ethnic minorities.

Mr. Pham Van Luong, country director of Helvetas Vietnam, said that the project, with funding from the European Union (EU), was implemented in northern Hoa Binh and Cao Bang provinces.

The project helped 36,000 ethnic people in Vietnam raise awareness about land rights and dispute settlement. (Daibieunhandan, Nhandan)
