Summary : This policy brief examines how climate change, socio-cultural factors, and economic constraints contribute to persistent malnutrition among ethnic minority children in Vietnam, particularly in the Mekong Delta. It highlights significant disparities in food security and dietary quality and proposes a multi-sectoral strategy that integrates culturally sensitive nutrition programs, climate-resilient livelihoods, and strengthened social protection systems to address these challenges.
