Vietnam has made remarkable progress in rural development over the past two decades through innovative policies and community-based approaches. The National Target Program on New Rural Development, launched in 2010, has improved living standards in remote areas. This program focuses on infrastructure development, agricultural modernization, and environmental protection. By investing in irrigation systems and sustainable farming techniques, Vietnam has enhanced productivity while preserving natural resources.

Education and healthcare improvements have been central to Vietnam's rural strategy. The government has established vocational training centers in rural districts, equipping farmers with skills to diversify income sources. These centers offer courses ranging from agricultural techniques to handicraft production. Additionally, mobile healthcare units visit isolated communities, providing medical services to those who previously lacked access. This approach has resulted in declining poverty rates throughout rural Vietnam.

Vietnam actively shares its development experiences with other ASEAN nations through regional cooperation. Workshops bring together policymakers and experts to exchange knowledge and best practices. Vietnam's model of combining traditional farming with modern technology has interested neighbors like Cambodia and Laos. Vietnamese specialists frequently conduct training sessions in neighboring countries, demonstrating sustainable cultivation methods. This collaboration strengthens regional bonds while addressing shared challenges of climate change.

The success of Vietnam's rural initiatives offers valuable lessons for ASEAN. The emphasis on local participation has fostered ownership among rural residents. The integration of environmental considerations ensures long-term sustainability. As ASEAN pursues community-building goals, Vietnam's experience shows how targeted rural development contributes to regional stability. By adapting these approaches, other members can accelerate their own rural transformation journeys.
