Dry Zone Livelihood Support and Partnership Programme (DZLiSPP)

General

The programme intended to improve the incomes and the living conditions of poor women and poor men among 80,000 households in the dry provinces Ha Tinh and Quang Binh by giving support to rain-fed upland agricultural and livestock development through farmer field schools; small-scale irrigation rehabilitation; marketing and enterprise development; microfinance and income-generating activities; community infrastructure development and programme management. On land and natural resource governance, the programme identified problems relating land tenure insecurity issues and thus engaged in the policy dialogues on key land tenure issues and undertook capacity building and awareness raising activities. It supported the assessment of local level problems relating to land tenure in each of the programmes districts and provided technical assistance to identify and assess appropriate targeted interventions.
