[Marko Lovrekovic]

Dear INGO directors:

Please share your thoughts, comments or suggestions for the INGO
Statement at the 2017 Vietnam Development Forum (VDF). The title of
this year's forum is: "Leveraging Productivity Growth for Sustainable
Development" and it is scheduled for 13 December 2015. Apart from the
key note speech by the Prime Minister, there will be two sessions:

1. "Productivity Growth: Global Trends and Vietnam challenges" 2.
"Unlocking Vietnam’s Productivity Growth for Sustainable Development"

Please see the attached agenda for more details. Current INGO
representatives to VDF are country directors from ActionAid, Marie
Stopes International, The Asia Foundation and Bread for the World.
They will represent the INGO community at the forum. We met this
morning and started consultations about the written INGO Statement. If
your projects are related to any of the VDF 2017 themes (see above) --
please share your thoughts, comments or suggestions. Key messages from
the written statement may be used as talking points during the two
sessions, time permitting. Kindly note that the final written document
will be 2 - 4 pages and your representatives will have a maximum of 3
minutes (per session) to deliver INGOs' views.

Therefore, keep your inputs concise and clear; and send them directly
to me at <markongorc at gmail.com> no later than 24 November. Kindly
focus on the key messages that you would like to share, not exceeding
1 - 2 paragraphs; preferably following some of these guiding
sub-themes which we agreed upon this morning:

- youth employment
- Climate Change preparedness
- food security
- women's economic empowerment
- creating jobs in digital era
- agro businesses
