[Vnbiz] Rural Development Strategy

[Nguyen Thi Phuong Nga]

Dear anh Hoanh and CACC,
Thank you very much for initialling the rural development issues. This is the right time to discuss about this area.
Anh Hoanh is quite right that so far Viet nam has had any rural development strategy. Rural has been understood as agriculture and the 5 year plan for agriculture development are in place. Along the socio- economic development, the concept of rural development has changed. it relates to many other sectors like education and training, labor, health care, industries, banking, insurrance, environment ... It requires an integrated action plan not only focus on agriculture as it was before. As a matter of course, coordination strengthening  among various sectors becomes is  of high priority.    Luckily, Government  has  recognized it and turned into action. Recently, It call various ministries together to work on the overal guidelines on how to tackle issues in developing  agriculture, farmers and rural area. 
I believe and hope this exercise will continue with the action plan when the guidenline is approved by the Government and national Assembly and the Communist Party.
In response and preparation for the follow-up to the approval of the overal guidenline on guidelines on how to tackle issues in developing  agriculture, farmers and rural area , Ministry of Agriculture and Rural development is leading the formulation of the Rural Development Strategy. 
MARD is more than welcome any inputs contributed by CACC from frame work of a rural development strategy,  lesson learned from other countries both developed and developing ones, arguement, comments, recommendations on related policies or coordination scheme...
Of course, I  agree 100 % with 9 points given by anh Hoanh. I only add that decentralization should be seen strongly  in education  sector to make it demand driven not  giving what they have as it is now to the studentsand make a room for students to bring up their own talent and ability . Each region has different demand. At national level a standard framework is neccessary. US education system can be a model for learning.   I will make copies of your points  to hand around some key policy makers in MARD for reference and consultation .
Looking forward to hearing more from all of you.
