The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is responsible for realizing the program funded by some of the UN’s agencies. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) would represent the UN.

The three–year general program was designed to provide high-quality technical assistance for the building of new rural areas in Viet Nam.

The US$1.39 million program consists of three components including raising knowledge for producers and rural residents; strengthening capabilities on policy and strategy making and public investment; regulating, supervising and assessing the implementation of the National Target Program on building new rural areas./.
