Abstract

Climate stress can have significant negative impact on agricultural productivity and rural incomes. Yet we know little about interventions that support rural incomes and their pathways in areas vulnerable to climate change. Using data from an aid program, we use Difference-in-Differences analysis to compare two interventions across some of the poorest villages in Vietnam that also suffer extreme rainfall variability. Villages either received improvements to roads only (RO) or roads and agricultural extension services (RA). Income gains across the interventions are similar, but sectoral gains differ: RO households experience an increase in wage incomes and RA households in agricultural incomes. Findings indicate that rural households are responsive to type of intervention when adapting to climate change
