Communication and Dissemination of Information
TBI Vietnam places a special emphasis on communication,
dissemination and uptake of knowledge and information.
By the end of 2005, the results of the research projects
of TBI-Vietnam's first phase will become available and we
actively pursue the practical application and adoption of
these results into policy and practice.
TBI-Vietnam also answers specific forestry questions of
interested parties and informs research partners and stakeholders
about new publications, scholarships and conferences.
A document describing all institutions in Thua Thien Hue
involved in natural resource management and forestry has
been prepared under the name 'Institutional Landscape'.
The first version, from early 2004, has just been updated
and translated into Vietnamese and made widely available.

Further progress has also been made on the development
of a database and a library (containing both digital as
well as hard-copy publications) in the TBI-Vietnam office
at Hue. The library contains information on community forestry,
biodiversity and nature resource management in general and
more specifically related to Asia and Vietnam. Furthermore,
reports on forestry projects in Vietnam are available as
well as several manuals, information on scholarships and
statistical information. So far, the library has been used
by over 200 people, including lecturers, researchers and
students from Hue University of Agriculture and Forestry
(HUAF), Hue University of Sciences (HUS) and other universities
in Hue, as well as foreign researchers carrying out field
research in Thua Thien Hue province.
