This country report assesses organisations providing REDD+ capacity building services in Vietnam. The report identifies gaps in key areas that need to be filled in order for Vietnam to meet the objectives of its Draft National REDD+ programme. Gaps highlighted in the report include: low capacity among local NGOs to influence the formulation of social safeguards at national and sub-national policy levels; weak capacity among domestic and local capacity building service providers to assist REDD+ pilot projects; lack of REDD+ readiness capacity building support for natural resource industries; insufficient engagement on the part of university-based service providers.
