Hiring of consultant to facilitate workshop and prepare the report

Background

The Belgian Ministry of Development Cooperation (DGD) aims at more synergies
and complementarities between all different Belgian NGAs (Non-Governmental
development Actors) active in Vietnam and wants them to confront and
harmonise their assessment of the national context. For these assessments,
they equally require the input and validation of local partners of these
NGAs and local experts.  

15 Belgian NGAs with an interest in working in Vietnam, led by
Vredeseilanden (VECO), are jointly writing a Common Context Analysis for
DGD. Between February and April, they have been describing and analysing the
political, economic, social and environmental context of Vietnam, and the
relations between civil society and the government. Vredeseilanden will
deliver a draft document of this Common Context Analysis to the country
office in Vietnam (VECO Vietnam). This draft will be supplemented and
validated in a workshop in Hanoi which will be attended by local partners
and experts on May 25-26, 2015.
