The impact of the Australian Center for International Agriculture Research (ACIAR) project results had been advanced through a partnership with World Vision (WV) where provision of technologies arising from ACIAR projects for WVs projects can lift agricultural productivity. ACIAR entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with World Vision for this purpose in February 2000, and this project comprised some of the major collaborative activities in Southeast Asia under this MoU.
The project consisted of a set of six collaborative sub-projects between ACIAR and WV in Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. Results arising from a mature or completed ACIAR project activity were integrated into an active WV project in particular provinces in the three countries.
