Consultant(s) for Documentary Films Production

AgResults Vietnam Emissions Reduction Pilot

Terms of Reference for Documentary Films Production

1.    Introduction

As an agricultural-based economy, rice production and export play a key role in creating jobs and livelihoods for more than 70% of the population of Vietnam. According to the United National Framework Convention on Climate Change, the agriculture sector accounts for 33% of total non-carbon dioxide GHG emissions, of which rice cultivation accounts for approximately 50%. To address this challenge, the AgResults Vietnam Emissions Reduction Pilot (AVERP) has been designed to develop, test, and scale up innovative technologies, tools, and approaches to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the land cultivation and production stages for rice, ultimately reducing poverty, protecting the environment, and preparing for climate change. The project utilizes a pull mechanism, an innovative finance mechanism that provides monetary incentives to a diverse pool of actors to overcome market barriers to achieve significant GHG emissions reductions. The project will be implemented in Thai Binh province in the Red River Delta of Vietnam for the period of 2016 – 2021.

In 2017, The AVERP selected 11 Implementers to participate in the national-scale contest to demonstrate their proposed rice farming technologies. After the first crop season, recognition awards have been given to those who successfully demonstrate technologies to increase yield and decrease the GHG emissions from rice cultivation process.
