About CO-Hanoi
Viet Nam rejoined the ILO in 1992 and has served as a Deputy Member of the ILO’s Governing Body since 2002. The ILO Country Office for Viet Nam was officially opened in 2003. In July 2006 a national cooperation Framework on Promoting Decent Work (2006-2010) was signed by ILO and its traditional constituents, the government represented by the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour representing the workers, and the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Vietnam Cooperative Alliance, representing the employers.
The ILO’s Decent Work Country Programme (2006-2010) supports the development strategies and policies that underpin the country’s transition to a socialist market economy and the Government’s efforts to ensure that social and economic advancement occur in tandem. The frame of reference and point of departure for the Decent Work Country Programme are the country’s Ten Year National Socio-Economic Development Strategy (2001–2010) and its second Five Year Socio-Economic Development Plan (2006–2010).
ILO technical assistance is delivered through research and analysis, advocacy and awareness raising, advisory services, technical cooperation projects, fellowships and study tours and training—carried out locally and at the regional and international levels.
In addition to the traditional partners the ILO in Viet Nam also consults and works with other stakeholders such as the Ministry of Health (MOH), the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET), the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) and Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT). Other partners include the Vietnam Women’s Union and the Vietnam Farmers and Youth Unions. The ILO will continue to work with these and other stakeholders within the One UN framework in implementing the DWCP.
