Ethnic Minorities Working Group

 

In Vietnam, ethnic minority people comprise almost 14% of the population, but account for 29% of the poor. Members of the Ethnic Minorities Working Group (EMWG) share this concern, and meet to exchange ideas and 'lessons learned' about how to improve development policy and practice for the benefit of ethnic minorities.

EMWG seeks to serve the interests of a broad membership, in particular the interests of Vietnamese NGOs. It seeks to involve ethnic minority people as much as possible, and to establish close links with other similar working groups in Vietnam.

EMWG functions under the auspices of the VUFO-NGO Resource Centre, and is managed by a 'core group' of International and Vietnamese NGOs.

 

Oxfam Great Britain is currently the focal point for the core group. For more information, contact Ms. Dang Bao Nguyet, e-mail: emwg@ngocentre.org.vn or join up to our mailing list
