As a member of a 10-person  team from Vietnam, from 27 to 30/6/2011, RECERD representatives attended the Global Open Forum on civil society organizations, held in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The forum aimed at building an effective framework for the organization of social civil organizations (CSO), building on 8 Principles (agreed on in Istanbul) and developing an effective global framework for CSOs. It also provided an opportunity for CSOs to interact and share concerns with each other, with donors and with government. Among the main topics discussed were the improvement and development of a global framework for CSOs (Global Effectiveness Framework) and a “tool guide” for implementation (Implementation Toolkit) and advocacy (Advocacy Toolkit).
                                    

Ms. Nguyen Phuong Linh, MSD Director, representative of Asia, presented the Action Plan for the Development and Aid Effectiveness Summit in Busan.

The delegation also included representatives of the Union of Science and Technology Organization of Vietnam (VUSTA), the Union of Vietnam Friendship Organizations (PAMCOM), as well as some other CSOs under VUSTA. The global development framework for CSO is one important topic of the 6th High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness (Aid Effectiveness) to be held in Busan, South Korea, November 29-December 01, 2011.
