This report " Country Social
Analysis (CSA) " focused on ethnicity and development
in Vietnam is a provocative analysis of marginality in
contemporary Southeast Asia. It seeks to understand the
macro social and political processes, and provides an
analysis of how social, political, and cultural factors
influence the opportunities and constraints to more
equitable, inclusive development. This study provides
research findings to support both the Bank's and the
government of Vietnam's goals of social inclusion for
ethnic minorities and poverty reduction. Previous studies,
including the Bank's Country Partnership Study for
Vietnam (CPS) and the government's Socioeconomic
Development Plan (SEDP), focus on four organizing
principles: (1) improving the business environment; (2)
strengthening social inclusion; (3) strengthening natural
resource and environmental management; and (4) improving
governance. This study focuses particularly on the issue of
strengthening social inclusion. Part one of this summary
report is a literature review that discusses background
information on ethnic minorities, including their
classification, history, current living conditions, and
poverty outcomes. Part two presents the results of
field-based research and provides in-depth analysis of six
fundamental factors that explain how differences between
ethnic groups contribute to remarkably different livelihood
strategies and economic outcomes. Part three summarizes the
policy implications of research findings, suggesting areas
for further consideration.
