The Mekong Delta International Participatory Action-Oriented Training (PAOT) Program has been organized since the year 2000, and the extensive experience gained from this international program clearly indicates that the PAOT approach is a crucial area of international cooperation for enhancing working conditions in different local situations.

Since then, it has become an annual event in Can Tho City. Building on this international cooperation, we have created several new PAOT programs such as WINDY, GREEN, and WIPE program.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way in which we organize this international event. To ensure dynamic and lively discussions, the online Mekong Delta workshop was organized as the “Good Practice Photo Contest” to maintain the continuity of this regional OSH event.

Recently, the World Health Organization declared an end to the COVID-19 global public health emergency. However concerning current local condition, the steering committee has decided to hold the Mekong Delta International PAOT as an online workshop on August 31, 2023, featuring a good practice database session and presentations of practitioners’ achievements.

We would be grateful your positive participation, and learn together current PAOT actiivities in the world.
