Abstract

This paper describes a three-year field project implemented jointly from September 2006 by Hue University of Agriculture and Forestry and the Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies, Kyoto University. The project uses a participatory approach to enhance community resilience, environmental conservation and household economy in three project sites in Hue province in central Vietnam. Project activities currently taking place in just one of these project sites are the focus of this paper. The project is ongoing: its activities will come to an end in September 2006. What lessons have been learned so far and what challenges lie ahead for the project's facilitators?
