Implementing agency: Established after the inception of the Vietnam Communist Party (February 3, 1930), the Vietnam Women's Union (VWU) is a political and social organization, which unites women from all walks of life. The union works to advocate the equality and development of women and protect legitimate rights and interests of women. The Vietnam Women's Union is 1 This initiative is known as Development Marketplace elsewhere.

2 divided in four organizational levels namely central, provincial/municipal, district and commune levels. The Cao Bang Women's Union is served by four permanent members (a chairwoman and three vice chairwomen in charge of specialized divisions) and five specialized divisions (Administration Division, Social and Family Affairs Division Propaganda Division, Personnel Organization Division and Jobs Center) with 25 staff as illustrated in the following diagram: Chairwoman 3 vice chairwomen Personnel Organization Social and Family Affairs Administration Propaganda Jobs Center The union strives to build it into a strong organization and contributing to the implementation of local socio-economic development goals. These objectives have been brought into the movement of Women study positively, work creatively and build a prosperous, equal, progressive and happy family. Six key tasks are to mobilize and raise women's capacity; to participate in social counter-argument and realize gender equality; to support woman to build a prosperous, equal, progressive and happily family; to build and consolidate the union's organizational structure; and promote people-to-people relations. The union's budget comes from the local budget and funds contributed by non-governmental organizations to implement activities. The union has implemented the following projects across the province: Communicating the book "Things for life and helping women increase income"; Implementing the Dutch Healthcare Project II to help mothers with disabled children increase income; Implementing the "For the development of women" program funded by ActionAid Vietnam. 2

3 Implementing the Caranvan project on "Communication of gender equality" sponsored by the Swiss Association for International Cooperation (Helvetas). Implementing the LECEEM project on opening literacy classes for ethnic minority women funded by ADRA. The Cao Bang Women's Union participated in the Vietnam Innovation Day 2004 on fighting HIV/AIDS and won a prize. It has also implemented the project "Improving capacity of members of commune/district women's unions with high HIV risks and established peer groups. After joining local women's unions, women have become more experiened in HIV fighting and prevention consultancy and communication and several peer clubs and groups and groups of HIV-affected women have been set up. 5.

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION (1) The socio-economic situation of the community: Hong Tri is a remote commune located in the west of Bao Lac District, Cao Bang Province. The commune is four kilometers far from the central district with a natural area of 3,951 hectares, including hectares of agricultural land, 3, hectares of forest land, and hectares of farming land. As much as 90% the commune's natural land area is covered by hills and mountains while the farming land area is humble. Most of the farming area is one-crop land and has been rapidly exhausted. Hong Tri has 15 administrative villages with 615 households and 3131 people of five ethnic groups (Tay 23.6%, 7.9% Hmong, Dao 3.4%, Lo Lo 32.4% and Nung 40 %). Hong Tri is included in the list of the 135-II program 3

4 ( ) and the resolution 30A applicable to 61 poor districts nationwide. The commune has 139 poor households, accounting for 22.5% of the population and out of 11 in 15 hamlets have no access to the national electricity grid. Currently, over 90% of households in rural areas of Cao Bang Province uses traditional cookstoves (three legged stone or brick cookstoves or three or four legged iron cookstoves, which are not under any specifications). As these are open cookstoves, much combustion heat is emitted. With a low efficiency rate of 15-20%, these cookstoves are firewood-intensive with an average volume of one ton of firewood used by a household per month. The use of these traditional cookstoves leads to excessive exploitation of firewood for burning purposes, which is one of the reasons leading to increased deforestation and forest deterioration and reduced carbon absorption rates of forest ecosystems. The idea of the project is to support mountainous communities and ethnic minorities in Hong Thuy Commune, Bao Lac District, Cao Bang Province to experimentally build improved firewood-saving cookstoves on the basis of their existing experience, manuals on building and use of BLN cookstoves (Forestry cookstoves) compiled by the Vietnam Forestry Science and Technology Association (2001) and funds provided by the World Bank. BLN cookstoves have been tested successfully in Bac Kan Province and some other provinces. At present, the experimental building of improved cookstoves is a cost-effective approach and helps realize environmental and socio-economic objectives. The project aims at reducing firewood exploitation in the local community, which is considered one solution to forest restoration and deforestation reduction given that no alternative energy source for cooking other than biomass (firewood) has been explored. The project is intended to provide technical assistance and 50% of the total building material cost for an improved cookstove and the remainder will be contributed by the households involved in the project). Improved cookstoves under the project are expected to reduce 40-50% of the quantity of firewood burnt as compared with traditional ones (0.4 to 0.5 tons of firewood per household per month or six tons of firewood per household per year) and hours spent by a household per week on getting firewood. As a result, the whole community (492 households) will save around 3,000 tons of firewood per year. It could be 4

5 said that this is an experiment, which, if successful, would be a good model to be replicated in other communes and districts of Cao Bang Province and would contribute to reducing forest degradation and deforestation. The idea of the project is a prerequisite experiment for future policy considerations on payments for environmental services for poor people living on forest resources with a view to improving the livelihood of mountainous rural communities of Cao Bang Province. (2) Objectives: 2a) General objectives: To contribute to reducing forest deterioration and deforestation in mountainous and ethnic minority areas of Cao Bang Province. 2b) Specific objectives: - Specific objective 1: To limit the volume of firewood consumed by households with a view to reducing deforestation and the hardship of and time spent on getting firewood of locals, especially women. - Specific objective 2: To improve the awareness of managing, protecting and using forest resources in a sustainable manner to help mitigate climate change for provincial, district and commune cadres and local people. *) Activities/methods of implementation to achieve the set goals and objectives: a) Specific objectives and activities to be implemented: - Specific objective 1: To limit the volume of firewood consumed by households with a view to reducing deforestation and the hardship of and time spent on getting firewood of locals, especially women. Activity 1.1: To survey current use of firewood and types of cookstoves in the locality. Activity 1.2: To provide technical training and build improved cookstoves in selected households. Activity 1.3: To replicate the model of improved cookstoves in other households in need in the locality (to provide materials and technical assistance). - Specific objective 2: To improve the awareness of managing, protecting and using forest resources in a sustainable manner to help mitigate climate change for provincial, district and commune cadres and local people. 5

6 Activity 2.1: To organize project introduction and start-up meetings with the attendance of stakeholders and representatives of beneficiaries. Activity 2.2: To design, print and distribute hats and T-shirts. Activity 2.3: To design and print leaflets on the project and techniques of building and using improved cookstoves for replication purposes. Activity 2.4: To assess the project. Activity 2.5: To hold a provincial project review meeting. b) Methods of implementation to achieve the set goals and objectives: The Cao Bang Women's Union was and is a reliable partner of a number of nongovernmental organizations and other donors operating in the province, such as the Swiss Association for International Cooperation (Helvetas), the Dutch Health II, ActionAid Vietnam, and the ADRA. Therefore, the union, as well as district and commune women's unions, has full capacity and experience in implementing and managing the project. The Cao Bang Women's Union would inherit the tools of the CB-GEM project, such as, the compilation of a plan and budget agreement before each activity and the preparation of a financial report after the end of each activity (for such an agreement and report, see the attached appendix). In addition, the project will apply a payment method, which is based on the outputs of Activity 1.3 "To replicate the model of improved cookstoves in other households in need in the locality (to provide materials and technical assistance)". Under this method, payments will be made only to cookstoves, which are built under relevant specifications and have been in use for one or more months. - Specific objective 1: To limit the volume of firewood consumed by households with a view to reducing deforestation and the hardship of and time spent on getting firewood of locals, especially women. - With respect to Activity 1.1: To survey current use of firewood and types of cookstoves in the locality. The provincial Women's Union will engage an independent consultant to survey and write a baseline report on the current use of firewood and other types of cookstoves currently used by households in the project area. 6

7 - With respect to Activity 1.2: To provide technical training and build improved cookstoves in selected households. The provincial Women's Union will invite experienced consultants, who have been trained on improved cookstoves elsewhere, to organize three training courses for around 30 key farmers and commune officials on techniques and practice related to improved cookstoves in accordance with relevant documents on Forestry cookstoves. These training courses will be held in the form of direct instructions. After each training course, at least 8 or 10 trainees (key farmers and commune officials) will understand all techniques of building and using improved cookstoves and instructing others on improved cookstoves and at least four improved cookstoves are completed. Each trainee will receive one hat and one T-shirt printed with the logo of the donor and the message on reducing climate change impacts. - With respect to Activity 1.3: To replicate the model of improved cookstoves in other households in need in the locality (to provide materials and technical assistance). The number of cookstoves to be replicated is estimated at 480 (50% of which are made of bricks and 50% are made of soil and concrete). This figure would be higher if local people's demand for soil cookstoves increases by 50%. The project will provide materials and technical support (50% of the value a cookstove) to build improved cookstoves for households in mountainous villages of the commune that will be elected by the community using pre-agreed criteria. The remaining cost (50% of the value of a cookstove) will be contributed by the relevant household. The People's Committee of Hong Tri Commune will execute a budget agreement prior to the implementation of the activity and prepare a final report upon the completion of the activity. Additionally, the project will make payments on the basis of the outputs of this activity. - Specific objective 2: To improve the awareness of managing, protecting and using forest resources in a sustainable manner to help mitigate climate change for provincial, district and commune cadres and local people. - With respect to Activity 2.1: To organize project introduction and start-up meetings with the attendance of stakeholders and representatives of beneficiaries. 7

8 The project start-up meeting will be held at the People's Committee of Hong Thuy Commune with a view to briefly introducing climate change impacts, the project objectives and contents and disclose the project budget. Attendants will include representatives of the donor, the provincial and district Women's Unions, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, the People's Committee and relevant departments of Bao Lac District, representatives of the People's Committee, mass unions and people of Hong Tri Commune and all 16 communes and towns of Bao Lac District, Cao Bang Province. - With respect to Activity 2.2: To design, print and distribute hats and T-shirts. Third parties will be engaged to design and print 100 sets of T-shirts and hats, which will be distribute to those joining the training courses and the project review meeting. - With respect to Activity 2.3: To design and print leaflets on the project and techniques of building and using improved cookstoves for replication purposes. The budget will be spent on designing and printing 500 leaflets with a view to propagandizing the project's cookstove model to other communes in Cao Bang Province. (Budget: see the project budget section). - With respect to Activity 2.4: To assess the project. The Women's Association will engage an independent consultant to review and prepare a final project report with a view to assessing and drawing experience and sharing lessons learnt from the project with stakeholders (Budget: see the project budget section). - With respect to Activity 2.5: To hold a provincial project review meeting and prepare a replication plan. The Women's Union will organize a workshop to share experiences and develop a replication plan. Attendants will include representatives of the donor, the provincial Women's Union, district Women's Unions, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the provincial Farmers' Association, nongovernmental projects with similar concerns in the locality, People's Committees of 13 districts, and representatives of the People's Committee, Woman's Union and people of Hong 8

9 Tri commune. Local reporters (district / provincial news agencies / radio stations) will be invited to write and publish news articles. (3) Innovation: The idea of the project is new in upland and ethnic minority communities in Cao Bang Province. As so far in these communities, there have been no similar activities related to improved firewood-saving cookstoves to reduce forest degradation and deforestation through the efficient and economical use of firewood, reduces the time spent on getting firewood and contributes to improving the livelihood of local communities. The project will apply the community-driven approach. Criteria used to select households to participate in the project via meetings held in village are as follows: They must be poor households and live in upland areas; householders are female; they must be voluntary and dedicated; they must undertake to share the cost of building cookstoves (up to 50% of the cost of a cookstove). In Bac Kan Province: BLN cookstoves were successfully tested. Main materials included bricks, cement and sand to build these cookstoves. The model was deployed only in a lowland village and replicated in all households of the village. Local people contributed around 50% of the cost of a cookstove. In the target community (Hong Tri Commune): The project combines local experience, uses materials available in the locality and inherits training materials on building and using BLN cookstoves of the Vietnam Forestry Science and Technology Association (2001). These cookstoves were designed with specifications and have been applied successfully in Bac Kan Provinces and some other provinces. The creativity of the project is clearly illustrated through the modification of the existing BLN cookstove design to match local conditions. The use of available materials such as clay, sand, straw and thatch (brick cookstoves are built in addition to clay cookstoves) will reduce investment costs incurred by local people. The project will be implemented in rural 9

10 mountainous and ethnic minority hamlets, where the transport of materials such as bricks, cement and sand is difficult. The project will test certain cookstove types such as clay cookstoves, stilt house cookstoves, heater-cookstoves and big cookstoves used by people in mountainous areas. These cookstove types have not been built in Bac Kan Province. The areas where firewood-saving BLN cookstoves will be experimentally built are hamlets with high replicability. The project will apply the method in which the quality of these activities will be monitored and payments will be made on the basis of outputs as aforementioned. (4) Specific results and direct impacts: - Specific results: The project will deploy the combined livelihood improvement method in five aspects: minimizing vulnerability, creating opportunities, directly affecting beneficiaries, improving service capacity and reviewing to propose policies. The project is expected to directly benefit 3,200 beneficiaries including related parties of all four levels (province, district, commune and household levels). However, at the grassroots level, main beneficiaries will be farmers living in upland areas of Hong Tri Commune, Bao Lac District, Cao Bang Province. The awareness and behavior of local communities of forest protection will be raised through the use of improved firewood-saving cookstoves with a view to reducing the pressure on forest ecosystems, which are now being degraded and destroyed, and increasing carbon accumulation rates of forests to reduce climate change impacts. Sustainable forest management and protection policies will be worked out, including enrichment of forests, planting of forests with high CO2 absorption and carbon accumulation rates and imposition of payments for environmental services for poor people. - Project evaluation indicators: The project will produce results with respect to and directly affect to economic, social and environment aspects and propose to improve environmentrelated policies and manage forest resources sustainably to contribute in order to increase carbon accumulation rates and mitigate the greenhouse effect and climate change. Environmental aspect: The awareness of around 3,200 people of forest protection and climate change impact mitigation will be improved through their participation in project activities. If implemented, the project will help reduce firewood exploitation, which reaches approximately 3,000 tons per year in the commune, and maintain and return organic composts 10

11 (fallen or rotten trunk, branches and leaves of forest trees) instead of using them as firewood to mitigate soil erosion. Economic aspect: - The project will bring about considerable economic benefits at the household level and help replicate the improved cookstove model. These cookstoves are expected: To save hours per week for women and they therefore will have more time to participate in production activities to create additional income. To save 40-50% the volume of burnt firewood as compared with traditional cookstoves. To create small services with hundreds of new jobs created from the cookstove building service. As many as 30 people will be trained, 50% of whom will continue providing this service after the termination of the project. At least 492 improved firewood-saving cookstoves will be built after the project ends. Social and cultural aspect: Local households will change their thoughts of their surrounding environment. The project will promote the role of woman in the decision-making process (for example: though women do not usually speak at meetings, after joining this project, they will be braver to express their opinions). As biomass energy will be used efficiently, more children will have chance to go to school instead of spending time on getting firewood. Women's improved capacity will help create more opportunities for them to take part in different activities such as skill improvement training, agricultural and forestry extension, awareness improvement and supervision promotion. Health aspect: The project will help reduce risk of eye and respiration diseases caused by smoke or lower CO, increase aeration and sanitation of the kitchen. Proposal on improving policies: Efficient and sustainable use of biomass energy will contribute to restoring potential forests and improving local people's livelihood in the long run. However, there remain certain difficulties. Forest restoration may restrict access to and use of forest resources, which would 11

12 cause some communities living in degraded forests to move to other places. However, the loss of access to forest resources may be repaid by the income created from new revenue sources through: Proposing support policies on testing a community-driven sustainable forest management model. Planting CO 2 absorbing forests and maintaining natural forest ecosystems to increase carbon accumulation rates and reduce the greenhouse effect, contributing to mitigating climate change impacts. Considering the experimental imposition of payments for environmental services (PES) for poor people living on forest resources. (5) Measurability: - The outputs and outcomes of this project will be monitored and evaluated using available tools and methods, which have been applied in the existing projects of the provincial Women's Union. The final financial report will not only indicate the transparency of financial management but also figure out the outputs produced by such activities (including the number of beneficiaries by gender and nationality). - Payments will be made on the basis of the outputs of the project. - The provincial Women's Union will appoint one staff to participate in the project to help district and commune partners. He/she will be responsible for organizing activities, reporting and supervision the implementation of these activities. - At each level of the Women's Association, there will be one staff/level receiving monthly allowance from the project budget (sponsored by the World Bank) to monitor and report the implementation of the project on a monthly basis. The provincial Woman's Association will take responsibility for reporting the implementation progress to the Sponsor. (6)Organizational and financial sustainability: The provincial Women's Union will be responsible to the donor for the project budget. The provincial, district and commune Women's Unions have experience in implementing a number of programs assigned by the State. Besides, the Unions were and are partners of such organizations, programs and projects as the CB-GEM project, ADRA and the Dutch Health II. Therefore, the Women's Unions have certain experience, tools and capability in implementing 12

13 activities of the donor. So, there will be no difficulty in deploying the project. After the end of the project in Hong Tri Commune, the commune Women's Union and village Women's Unions will continue propagandizing the benefits of firewood-saving cookstoves and mobilizing other women to visit model families to encourage other households, which have better conditions, to invest in building improved cookstoves themselves. (7) Replicability: The project is highly feasible and replicable as the cost of materials of a cookstoves is low (about VND400,000 to VND700,000). If local materials (clay) are used, the cost will be lowered and appropriate for the conditions of mountainous villages and communes in Cao Bang Province. On the other hand, after the project ends, the localities will have available human resources for a broader replication. In addition, other forms of propaganda such as leaflets, hats and shirts with a message of improved cookstoves and climate mitigation change will help replicate the model. (8) Feasibility: With the experience in implementing non-governmental projects of the three-level Women's Unions of Cao Bang Province as aforementioned, we are fully capable of deploying the proposed project as scheduled and with guaranteed quality. The Unions will develop a specific implementation plan for the project as approved by the donor. A more detailed Action Plan will be prepared based on the logical framework. (9) Other details *) Specifications of improved firewood-saving cookstoves: - Specifications (size): There are two types of improved cookstoves, namely clay and brick cookstoves. As each cookstove has two or three doors as requested by each household, these cookstoves have different sizes. - Building materials: Bricks, cement, sand, iron, clay, lime, straw or rice husk, etc. - Project scope: Due to the limited implementation time of the project (one year), the project scope only includes two specific objectives as indicated above. However, in accordance with the implementation approach, the improved cookstove project will have effects related to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs): (MDG 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7) as follows: 13
