Vietnam Forests and Deltas Program Supports Improved Forest Policy in Vietnam

The USAID-funded Vietnam Forests and Deltas (VFD) Program promotes knowledge-sharing of climate change issues and supports the development and review of national policies and guidelines. In 2016, Vietnam’s Prime Minister approved three VFD-supported national polices that will improve management of the country’s valuable forest resources. These policies provide clear frameworks for sustainable management of forests, strengthen coastal resilience in response to climate change and expand innovative financing mechanisms to support forest protection and development.
