On the morning of June 11, 2025, the working delegation from the Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) Project, implemented by the German Development Cooperation Organization (GIZ), conducted a study visit and working session at the Institute of Forestry and Sustainable Development, Thai Nguyen University of Agriculture and Forestry (TUAF). This visit was part of an ongoing knowledge exchange program aimed at exploring training and research models in forestry and climate change, while also fostering cooperation opportunities between GIZ and academic and research institutions in Vietnam.<\/p>\n

In her welcome remarks, Prof. Dr. Tran Thi Thu Ha, Director of the Institute of Forestry and Sustainable Development, affirmed that the Institute always values academic exchange and international cooperation, especially with reputable organizations such as GIZ. She expressed her hope that this visit would not only help the delegation better understand the Institute’s orientation and approach in natural resource management, but also lay the groundwork for future cooperation activities \u2013 from curriculum development and applied research to piloting practical models at the local level.<\/p>\n

Prof. Dr. Tran Thi Thu Ha delivered a welcome speech to the delegation<\/em><\/p>\n

During the working session, representatives from both sides presented and discussed key topics drawn from their respective documentation. The Institute highlighted the role of the LEARN-VN project as an integrated experimental model that combines education, research, and knowledge transfer, aiming toward sustainable development and effective climate adaptation.<\/p>\n

GIZ representatives shared practical experiences from the implementation of the SFM Project in various localities, focusing on developing community-based forest management models, strengthening local capacities, and improving livelihoods linked to forest resource conservation. The GIZ delegation expressed high appreciation for the Institute\u2019s integrated approach, particularly its incorporation of education, communication, and technology application into practical models. GIZ experts also offered several constructive suggestions for LEARN-VN, such as enhancing the monitoring and impact evaluation components, and establishing mechanisms for sharing lessons learned among local communities.<\/p>\n

Following the working session, the GIZ delegation visited the Climate Park\u2014a demonstration space for climate adaptation models developed under the LEARN-VN project. At the site, the delegation directly observed and learned about models such as agroforestry, sustainable forests, forest restoration, and low-emission rice cultivation, among others, serving as tangible examples of ecological, sustainable, and community-based approaches.<\/p>\n

The visiting members expressed their impressions of the scale, logical layout, and practical applicability of the models showcased at the Climate Park. According to GIZ representatives, this park exemplifies the successful translation of scientific knowledge into accessible models that can be implemented by local communities, especially in areas severely affected by climate change.<\/p>\n

Several experts within the delegation recognized the potential for long-term cooperation with the Institute, not only in research and training but also in piloting innovative models. GIZ also proposed the possibility of organizing future study tours for local officials and project partners to replicate good practices from the LEARN-VN models.<\/p>\n
