Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden
have pledged to fund around 13.2 million USD to help Vietnam strengthen
the capacity of its inspectorate system from now through 2014.
An agreement underscoring the commitment was signed in Hanoi on October 13 by Inspector General of the Government Inspectorate of Vietnam Tran Van Truyen and Swedish, Danish and Dutch ambassadors to Vietnam, Rolf Bergman, Peter Hansen and Joop Scheffers, respectively.
Accordingly, the Programme on Strengthening Comprehensive Capacity of the Inspectorate System (POSCIS) will be separated into 10 projects with the participation of the Government Inspectorate, the Ministries of Public Security, Planning and Investment, Finance and Internal Affairs and local authorities of Ho Chi Minh City and the provinces of Khanh Hoa, Ha Tinh, Kien Giang and Binh Duong.
The programme aims to clarify the functions, tasks and organisational mechanisms of the inspectorate system; to reinforce its personnel management to attract talents; to help prevent, combat, detect and effectively resolve corruption cases; and to strengthen the coordination between inspectorate agencies and auditing companies, as well as other investigative and procuracy bodies.
Addressing the ceremony, Inspector General Tran Van Truyen said that the Government Inspectorate of Vietnam appreciated the assistance of its foreign partners in the implementation of the POSCIS in the context that Vietnam has enacted a National Strategy for Preventing and Combating Corruption towards 2020 and signed the United Nations’ Convention against Corruption.
The Government Inspectorate of Vietnam also considered the programme a lever, giving impetus to its effective operation in the coming time, Truyen added.
On behalf of developing partners, Swedish ambassador to Vietnam Rolf Bergman said that combating corruption is the responsibility of both the Government and the mass media./.
