ActionAid – AFV Presented VND 100 million to Support Handicaps in Bac Lieu

The 22nd Partnership Meeting (APM 2023) was held in Bac Lieu on Feb. 28. The event lasts for three days, discussing investment solutions to support young people to access the equitable digital economy, green carbon, and sustainable community development.

APM 2023 is hosted by the Management Board of Dong Hai District Development Assistance Program and Bac Lieu Union of Friendship Organizations (BUFO), sponsored by ActionAid – AFV and Bac Lieu People’s Committee. The event provided a forum to exchange between central and local partners and ActionAid – AFV.

In his remarks, Le Hoang Minh, BUFO’s president said: “Bac Lieu, located in the coastal Mekong Delta, is one of Vietnam’s most important provinces in producing wind power, solar power, shrimp, salt and processing seafood. In recent years, natural disasters and salinity intrusion have been causing serious impacts on the livelihoods of many households. Appreciating projects sponsored by ActionAid-AFV in Bac Lieu for more than 10 years, we hope through this forum, we can introduce Bac Lieu’s potential in cooperation with NGOs to implement short- and medium-term projects in renewable energy and sustainable agriculture in the Mekong Delta.”
