The study aimed to evaluate the current status and proposed solutions for improving the engagement of communities in development of New rural village in Tra Vinh province. The study was conducted in 3 districts of Tra Vinh province namely Tra Cu, Tieu Can and Cang Long districts by interviewing of 405 households. Statistical descriptive analysis, factor analysis, problem tree and solution tree were used. Results showed that the levels of participation depended on the wealth of household groups (rich, medium, poor and near poor). Rich household group contributed more than other groups. Three factors were found as influencing factors to the participation of communities such as (1) Culture, social situation and public services, (2) Planning, infrastructure and production organization, (3) Household status and local government, with human, social, financial and physical capital figures. Based on the analysis, two overall solution groups (internal and external driving forces) from 2 main problems (subjective and objective factors) were proposed (1) Upgrading individual household capacity and (2) Improving attractive factors of community participation.
