In line with JETP PD, the project aims to seek a social consensus, inclusive of engagement of civil society. Part of these efforts are driven by seeking modalities to enact a Just Transition framework, consistent with just criteria in the JETP RMP. In alignment with the EU's human rights-based approach, which distinguishes between right holders and rights bearers, the project directly supports meaningful and inclusive participation and access to decision making, non-discrimination and equality, and transparency and access to information.

This implies that the action is considered a significant objective for inequality reduction. Though Viet Nam has experienced significant economic growth over the past two decades and over 98% of the population has access to electricity, significant inequalities can be observed. Rural areas have lower electrification rates compared to urban areas, with limited access to grid-connected electricity. Low-income households are more vulnerable to energy prices and are particularly sensitive to rising energy costs and meeting basic electricity needs. Geographical disparities exacerbate these conditions, as remote and mountainous regions face challenges with grid infrastructure expansion. The JETP Resource Mobilisation Plan, if fully implemented, may be able to provide whole of society benefits, with the creation of quality jobs, reduction in health inequalities driven by the decommissioning of coal-fired power stations and other fossil fuels, and emphasising a just, equitable and inclusive transition for workers, consumers, and affected communities as well as other objectives underpinning Viet Nam's JETP PD."}, {"bbox": [85, 1501, 199, 1526], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## Democracy"}, {"bbox": [85, 1526, 1128, 1606], "category": "Text", "text": "Project activities, particularly associated with Specific Objective 2, aim to strengthen legal frameworks to support implementation of the JETP RMP.
