The PARAFF secretariat in Hanoi is seeking to hire experienced Vietnamese
individual consultants or groups of consultants to conduct two training
sessions: a three-day training course on policy advocacy and a separate
three-day training course on research methods, which are planned to be
organised for our grantees in the second half of July 2014 (details are
attached in Vietnamese).


The “Public Participation and Accountability Facilitation Fund” (PARAFF)

The Public Participation and Accountability Facilitation Fund (PARAFF) is a
sub-component of the “Good Governance and Public Administration Reform
Programme, Phase II (GOPA II), agreed upon between the Government of
Denmark and Government of S.R. Vietnam.

Under PARAFF, support is provided to Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs)
through a Grant Fund which provides project funding to Vietnamese NGOs on
an application basis, combined with a capacity building facility for the
NGOs and key partners.

PARAFF is co-funded by Danida (Denmark) and DfID (UK) and operates under
the auspices of the Office of the National Assembly of Vietnam.

PARAFF provides support within the following areas:

·         *Research* on key issues related to the legislative process,
democratic governance and NGOs roles in promoting public participation and
accountability.
