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.
  * Awareness raising of NGOs and key partners regarding the rights and
    opportunities provided by the present legislation related to public
    participation and accountability.
  * NGO lead initiatives on monitoring of legislative processes,
    implementation of government policies and budgets at national and
    sub-national levels and feedback to Government and Elected
    representatives.
  * Strengthened networking among NGOs and other key stakeholders for
    enhanced engagement in legislative processes and policy dialogues
    with the National Assembly and the People’s Councils, and Government
    agencies at various levels.
  * Institutional and organisation capacity building initiatives for
    enhanced NGO engagement in legislative and policy making processes
    and monitoring.
