The VUFO-INGO Resource Centre Vietnam INGO Directory 2007 is a joint initiative between international NGOs (INGOs) working in Vietnam, the VUFO-INGO Resource Centre and the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations (VUFO).
Now in its 15th edition, the Directory aims to increase knowledge in Viet Nam and overseas about foreign and international NGOs working in Viet Nam and to help foster communication among these INGOs, the Government of Viet Nam, local groups and associations, and other international institutions.

Now in its 15th edition, the Directory was first published in 1991 in response to the increasing number of international organisations providing humanitarian and development assistance in Vietnam.

Updating, editing, and printing of the Directory is co-ordinated by the VUFO-NGO Resource Centre in Hanoi with assistance from the People’s Aid Coordinating Committee.
What is in the 2007 edition?
The most significant change in relation to this year's Directory is the inclusion of more detailed information on the activities and services provided by the NGO Resource Centre, including the centre's website, Working Groups and forums.
As in previous years, the 2007 Directory includes all INGOs registered to work in Vietnam who have submitted listing information to the NGO Resource Centre, regardless of whether or not they are a member of the centre. This includes listings for more than 140 organisations, which is divided into two major sections.
Section One - Full Listings: includes all members of the NGO Resource Centre and other organisations who contributed to the production of the Directory. The content of each entry is the responsibility of the INGO concerned.
Section Two - Brief Listings: includes the names and contact details for all other organisations registered to work in Vietnam. We are grateful to PACCOM for providing this information.
As in previous editions, the Annexes provide additional useful information for INGOs, including:

Directory Questionnaire
To submit a new or updated entry, please complete the online Questionnaire for the INGO Directory 2008 by clicking the link below. Please also refer to the list of Sector Classifications to classify your activities in Vietnam.
To download the Directory Questionnaire (.doc, 31kb) and return it to the VUFO-NGO Resource Centre, click here.
INGO activities in the Directory are classified using the following list of sectors.
Health
Education
Natural Resources
Income Generation
Other sectors
* These three sectors indicate the focus of the work, rather than the intended beneficiaries. Therefore, for example, "gender awareness training" or "work with street children" may be classified as "Gender" or "Children", but "nutrition programmes" where children or women are the main beneficiaries would be classified as "Nutrition".
