The missing link here is a complementary entry point, via which changes should be able to touch the heart of the (single) ruling Party and hopefully become Party's own initiatives. There are relevant lessons, which suggest an intervention logic of having more engagement with the authorities while supporting Non State Actors and private sector. Among the key mass organisations existing in Viet Nam, the Women's Union is considered legitimate to represent the rights and interests of women and girls and has with its specific mandate in mobilizing all social entities, to promote the role of the NSAs in Green, Just and Sustainable development. Moreover, the Viet Nam Women's Union has been proactively seeking for strengthened cooperation with the EU and several MS. Therefore, they can become the entry point, given its mandates in (a) dealing with issues of social interests and (b) keeping political Party well informed of the needs to change, in cooperation with other socio-political organisations; the Executive Agencies; and the Legislative Agencies."}, {"bbox": [92, 689, 1175, 888], "category": "Text", "text": "For outcome 2, the action will build upon the lessons learned in grant schemes such as SWITCH-Asia and other thematic and bilateral programs building capacities and providing financial support to NSAs working on green transition and gender equality.
