A United Nations-funded project was launched on March 8 in Hanoi to help the National Assembly's Institute for Legislative Studies improve the group's legislative research capacity and information and communication technology (ICT).
The project will be implemented by the institute during the next 18 months with technical support provided by the United Nations Development Programme.
"A well-governed society needs a well-informed parliament. The Institute for Legislative Studies is there to serve that need, through providing parliamentarians with excellent in-house research and policy analysis," said UNDP Country Director in Vietnam Setsuko Yamazaki.
The institute's improved research capacity would contribute to improving the assembly's operations and applied research on drafting laws, policy and parliamentary oversight, she said.
The project aims to enable the institute to more effectively fulfill its mandate through enhanced priority short-term legislative research and ICT capacities, which focus on supporting policy-oriented legislative research and enhanced ICT.
This is the first co-operation project between the institute and foreign partners, said the institute director Dinh Xuan Thao./.
