Australia, WB Further Support Vietnam's Governance

The Australian Embassy and the World Bank in Vietnam have jointly launched a new round of the Vietnam Blended Learning Programme with a focus on strengthening good governance in Vietnam. This programme aims to support local Vietnamese institutions in developing knowledge management activities and training programmes which ultimately contribute to more efficient local and central governance, through the use of innovative learning technologies and blended approaches.

 

This is the seventh time these grants are on offer. Each grantee can receive up to US$30,000 for their learning programme. To date, the Vietnam Blended Learning Programme has provided grants to 18 recipient organisations, enabling them to facilitate learning to 1,278 people.

 

Through the implementation of this grant programme, Vietnamese learners will be connected to local and international experts and their professional networks, establishing collaborative communities of practice to exchange knowledge and information. The programme has also contributed to building research and training capacity of local institutions’ staff.
