[Ngo-lwg] Reminder of Registration for participating in the Mine Action Partnership Group (MAPG) by 5th April

[Phan Thi Thu Ha]

*Dear LWG members,

*
*We hope all LWG member organizations have received the below email from 
504 Office dated 30 March, which has two objectives:

(1) Sharing the summary report of the 1st MAPG meeting on 15 March 2017, 
and
(2) Reminding partners to register for participation in the MAPG.

Kindly let us know, in case you haven't received the email.

*As discussed in the last meeting of LWG in January 2017, we encourage 
all LWG members to register to the MAPG.

This is the very first forum established by Vietnamese Government aiming 
at facilitating two-way communication and information sharing between 
the Government of Vietnam, Development Partners and other concerned 
stakeholders in mine action field. Through this forum the Vietnamese 
Government expects to build understanding and mutual trust among 
stakeholders, ensure transparency and enhance accountability for mine 
action in Vietnam.

LWG members have been playing vital role in ensuring the effectiveness 
of international support to mine action in Vietnam in the last two 
decades, we believe the voice of every LWG member organization, through 
this partnership forum, is significant to make Vietnam mine action 
community achieving the above mentioned goal.

Pls. find attached the Registration Form, in which the deadline has been 
pushed back to 5th April. In case you wish to participate in a thematic 
group, pls. fill in so, and name the subject you are interested in, or 
you see the need for.

*We look forward to your prompt feedback and action by registering to 
the MAPG, through the given emails in the attached Registration Form.

*Thank you and with Best Regards,*

Dear friends and partners,

We'd like to thank you for your participation at the First Meeting of 
the Mine Action Partnership Group (MAPG) on 15 March 2017, co-chaired by 
Vice Minister of MPI Nguyen The Phuong and US Ambassador to Vietnam, Ted 
Osius.

Pls. Find attached the draft summary report of the meeting, for your 
comments if any.

The meeting received more than one hundred participants from Government 
agencies, provincial authorities, Embassies, UN agencies, civil society, 
local and international organizations and media agencies. We see this a 
good start for the MAPG, which aims at creating an open forum for 
information sharing among national and international partners who have 
concerns about the impact of ERW toward development in Vietnam. We 
acknowledge the suggestions and comments made by the participants at the 
meeting and will incorporate them into the work agenda of MAPG in 2017.

To continue this momentum, we look forward to receiving your expression 
of interest in participating in MAPG, by filing the attached 
Registration Form, *by 5th April 2017. *

We will keep you updated with further activities of the Group for your 
participation and supports.

Thank you and With Best Regards,

On behalf of the Secretariat of MAPG

Dang Van Dong

Deputy General Director of Vietnam Mine National Action Center (VNMAC)
