Overview of the Legal Environment Affecting Civil Society Organisations: 2007 Workshop
To take stock of the legislative changes affecting the role of civil society organisations (CSOs) and the active participation of people in the development process of Vietnam, the People's Participation Working Group (PPWG) organised a workshop on 29 May, 2007, at the World Bank in Hanoi on the Legal Environment Affecting CSOs in Vietnam. The workshop's purpose was to share an overview of the law-making process and key legislations that had been recently promulgated or were being drafted relating to CSOs and people's participation.
The workshop aimed to update information and increase awareness among CSOs about the overall legal environment that CSOs are operating in, and identify and discuss opportunities and constraints for CSOs concerning their participation in the socio-economic development process in Vietnam.
