Summary:Vietnam's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has used IRRI andCCAFS research findings and institutionalized their recommendations for alternate-wetting-and-drying (AWD) in the national implementation plan for Vietnam's NDC in agriculture as well as technical guidelines for nationwide application. By 2019, at least 10 development organizations and private companies have promoted AWD technology in 11 provinces to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG)emissions in Vietnam, reaching 180,000 hectares and reducing GHG emissions by 1,118,820 tCO2 eq annually.
