Co-working with the community has long become a familiar and inspiring assignment for each CKC member. In early May 2023, CKC had the opportunity to research and learn about the lives of people in Quang Yen town, Quang Ninh province. Through intensive three-day on-site engagements, via focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and household interviews, we had a better understanding of the current situation and strategies of local communities in transition from traditional agriculture to new industry and service development opportunities. CKC hopes that our research in impact assessment and relevant risk mitigation and management of different projects will bring the voice of local people closer to sustainable community development plans and strategies.
