Web Moderator for Information Updating for the CCWG Website
To strengthen the capacity of civil society actors on climate change mitigation, adaptation, and policy advocacy, the Embassy of Finland is funding a three-year, €222,000 capacity building project on climate change for the staff, management, and local partners of civil society organizations in Vietnam (Capacity building project). The Centre for Sustainable Rural Development (SRD) is coordinating the project, in collaboration with members of two civil society networks: the VUFO-NGO Resource Center’s NGO Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) and the Network of Vietnam Civil Society Organizations and Climate Change (VCSO&CC).
The capacity building project will work to counter the threat of climate change by broadening access to information, strengthening coordination among civil society actors, increasing knowledge and skills through training activities, and enhancing the exchange of information and experience among practitioners and policy-makers.
