SRDP project (Sustainable Rural Development for the Poor Project in Quang Binh province) is implemented in accordance with the Financing Agreement between Government of Socialist Republic of Vietnam and International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) signed on 27/11/2013 at Rome, Italia.

The project's objective is to invest in climate smart, socially equitable and profitable rural development models that promote pro-poor market linkages, value chains and enhanced rural business competitiveness, sustainably improve income and reduce vulnerability of rural poor households in targeted upland areas of Quang Binh.
SRDP project is carried out in 40 difficult communes of six districts of Le Thuy, Quang Ninh, Bo Trach, Quang Trach, Tuyen Hoa and Minh Hoa, and Ba Don town.

The project is designed in 4 components, including: Market-led Development Planning; Rural Financial Services; Market and value chain investment; and Project management.

In the past time, the Project Management Unit of SRDP Quang Binh and the international consulting group have carried out a survey, set up a report and organized 40 commune-level workshops, 6 district-level workshops and a provincial-level workshop.

At the workshop, representative of the international consulting group reported on results of selected value chains, including cows, chickens, acacia, peanut, rice, maize, bee's honney, and knitted rattan and bamboo, and presented new value chains in Quang Binh.
