The project aims to expand economic opportunities for poor rural men and women in the province of Ha Tinh. The initiative uses provincial systems and institutions, and contributes to the province's broader socio-economic development objectives. The project has three inter-related components. First, the implementation of Ha Tinh's 2011-2015 Agriculture and Rural Development Plan. Funding supports the identification and implementation of priority actions within the Plan based on market-based analyses and consultations with key stakeholders. The Plan identifies products of competitive advantage for the province; improves productivity; supports the development of industry and market linkages; and strengthens agricultural extension services and training. Second, priority small-scale infrastructure works that foster agriculture and rural development will be supported in 13 communes from three districts. Third, strengthening the capacity of partners at provincial, district and commune levels in agricultural development: planning, budgeting, financial management, procurement and monitoring.
