Evaluering
The VGCL-LO-Norway Cooperation Program, 2010-2012: An Evaluation Report
Since 1998, the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (LO-Norway) has been cooperating with the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour (VGCL) to strengthen the trade union movement in Vietnam. The partnership has focused on building the capacity of VGCL and its affiliates at all levels in organising and recruiting members (especially in the non-state sectors), training and education, collective bargaining, social dialogue, and research and publication. Capacity-building has been mainly done through the conduct of training and education, seminars, survey and research, and preparation, printing/publication of educational and training materials. The evaluation has two main objectives: (i) to assess the results of the support provided by LO-Norway to VGCL and its lower level affiliates/unions to strengthen the capacity of unions all over Vietnam; and (ii) to assess the modality of cooperation between LO-Norway and VGCL and provide recommendations on areas for improvement, in particular related to monitoring and reporting of the performance of Vietnamese trade unions.
