| | Only recently when RDSC started engaging in advocacy and lobbying on agricultural and rural development policy at the local level, the organisation has come to an understanding that good evaluation system is not only an effective way for learning, but also a powerful instrument for community empowerment and efficient policy dialogues with other development stakeholders, such as governments and influential donors, such as World Bank, and ADB, which are active in RDSC project areas. This note, which should be seen as work-in-progress, is to highlight some efforts made in evaluation programme at RDSC so far, and to explain about the evaluation framework that guides RDSC in its monitoring and evaluation. | |

| | Food Security of the Poor at Household Level
Case of Thanh Son District
Dang Ngoc Quang, Rural Development Services Centre. April 27, 2007
In November 2006, the prime minister of Vietnam had requested to stop all rice export operation for food security reason. The rice disease caused by brown-hoppers was so wide-spread in the Mekong river delta that threatened food shortage in the country. This event has shown that although being a second world’s rice exporter, food security in Vietnam is being under a question.
This paper reviews RDSC's experience in assisting communities in Thanh Son District to improve their food security at household level using a community development approach, which the organisation developed and tested in middle of 1990s. | |
