The Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP)
The Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) is an integral feature of FAO’s work in Viet Nam. This platform allows FAO to deliver technical expertise through targeted short-term projects. The change-making ability of TCP is harnessed to produce immediate results by supporting institutions, farmer associations and other entities. Following a project’s successful evaluation against 10 key criteria established by FAO’s governing bodies, we deliver technical inputs to target beneficiaries that can include short-term experts and consultants, practical training and equipment.
In Viet Nam, TCP projects are set for implementation:
Sustainable livelihoods and climate resilience through Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) and Agroforestry (AF) best practices in the Northwestern Mountainous Region of Viet Nam
Impact of project : Sustainable livelihoods and climate resilience of upland communities in Northwest region of Viet Nam
Outcome : Enhanced capacities of government and upland communities to scale up CSA/AF best practices in NMR of Viet Nam
Support for the implementation of National Action Plan (NAP) on Zero Hunger (ZH)
FAO is providing technical support to implement a nutrition sensitive agriculture component of the ZH-NAP.
Support development and roll-out of a National Plant Health Strategy and an action plan National Plan (2021-2025).
Under this TCP framework, FAO will provide technical assistance to review the NP-IPHM 2015-2020; analyze and stock-take relevant global frameworks and approaches as well as models and best practices on Plant Health and pest and disease management. It is expected that the NPHS and NP-IPHM would comprehensively address the fundamental challenges as above mentioned, particularly a systemic approach for management of pest and diseases, including transboundary pest and disease management/pest risks in the context of climate change and global trade integration; integration of plant health, plant nutrition, food safety, quality and nutrition; integration of social protection and inclusive growth (e.g. pro-poor, woman and youth empowerment and inclusiveness); comply with and contribute to environment protection, ecosystem and biodiversity conservation; and attribute to increased competitiveness of Vietnamese agriculture in domestic and global markets.
Support for development of national soil health strategy and action plan
Project will contribute to an agroecological and sustainable transformation of Viet Nam’s food systems.
Under this Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) framework, FAO will provide technical assistance to review the NP-SHM 2010-2020; analyse and stock-take relevant global frameworks and approaches as well as models and best practices on Soil Health management. It is expected that the NSHS and NP-SHM would comprehensively address the fundamental challenges as above mentioned, particularly a systemic approach for management of soil health in the context of climate change and global trade integration; integration of plant health, plant nutrition, food security quality and nutrition; integration of social protection and inclusive growth (e.g. pro-poor, woman and youth empowerment and inclusiveness); comply with and contribute to environment protection, ecosystem and biodiversity conservation; and attribute to increased competitiveness of Vietnamese agriculture in domestic and global markets.
Technical support to deploy digitalization programs in food and rural sectors and facilitate digital village pilots in support of rural transformation and achievement of SDG 1 and 2
This regional project contributes to agricultural productivity, land-based resource management, food security, and incomes of food and agricultural value chain actors and rural entrepreneurs and rural households’ livelihoods and well-being improved through digital innovations
