IN 2006, VietDHRRA completed the household surveys for 11 pilot villages at 10 different provinces throughout the country. Covered in the research were the existing situation of farmer production, community lives and potentials of human resource development for rural areas.
The network also conducted 6 TOT courses for more than 150 participants coming from 19 VietDHRRA members and 11 pilot localities. Themes ranged from rural human resource development, the life situation and production challenges faced by local farmers and villagers, formulation and monitoring projects commencing at grassroots level with the participation of local farmers. Aside from these, three national workshops were successfully convened on CSO advocacy for Asian relations, on Co-operative leadership transformation and on the role of Agricultural Business with the participation of more than 220 participants coming from throughout the country. VietDHRRA also supported seminars with the participation of extension workers from central down to grassroots levels in the county to discuss about the possible alternatives for poverty alleviation and hunger eradication especially for indigenous communities.
Each member of VietDHRRA has its own programs implementing mostly in local levels to promote farmers and villagers in pushing up production and apply advanced and new technologies to improve quality of life and environment. Activities also were organized to develop communities especially in terms of economic and social forms
