Vietnam

　In recent years, the poverty rate at national level in Vietnam has been declining due to political stability and stable economic growth. However, the gap between regions as well as between the rich and the poor has been widening.
　FIDR started its assistance activity in 1991 in cooperation with an international NGO. In 1998, the Vietnam office was established in Danang city, located in central Vietnam. Today, FIDR conducts projects in community development, education, and healthcare in Danang city and Quang Nam province.

Outline of Vietnam

photo○Area
329,241km2


○Climate
The annual average temperature differs among regions, from 21℃ to 26℃, due to the mountainous terrain that runs from north to south of the country.
The climate is generally hot and very humid, and the weather is divided into rainy and dry seasons in central Vietnam.


○Population
83,120,000 (2005)
Life Expectancy at birth: 70.5 years


○Economy
75% of the population lives in rural areas. Behind the rapid economic growth, economic differentials between urban areas and rural areas have increased. Poverty particularly in the rural mountainous areas has been a major concern.
