World Bank JSDF Dialogue ¡°Vietnam Northern Mountain Integrated Child Nutrition Improvement Project¡±

June 24, 2022
Tokyo, Japan

The northern mountainous area in Vietnam is home to half of the ethnic minority groups in Vietnam, including some of the poorest. Over 66 percent of the ethnic minority population is considered poor, compared with that of the majority Kinh group (13 percent). Child malnutrition is another underlying, poverty-related issue for remote ethnic minority groups.

, supported by World Bank¡¯s Japan Social Development Fund and implemented by Save the Children Vietnam , was aimed at improving the nutrition status of children under five years of age in the target villages through improving the child feeding practices, maternal and child care, and diversifying sources of nutrition for pregnant women, infants, and young children. The main target beneficiaries were the poor ethnic minority households with pregnant women and mothers with children under the age of five living in selected disadvantaged northern region villages.

At this online seminar, the World Bank¡¯s country team and task team leader, and the implementing agency representatives, shared their experiences in this project.
