(VOVworld) - Norwegian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have reviewed the implementation of Norway-funded projects in Vietnam in a meeting held in the central province of Binh Dinh on Wednesday. Hosted by the Norway Red Cross (NRC) in Vietnam, the event informed the Norwegian government’s development assistance priorities between 2013 and 2014 and set out duties until next year.
Binh Dinh provincial People’s Committee Vice Chairwoman Tran Thi Thu Ha highly appreciated the support of Norwegian NGOs, especially the NRC for the “Disaster Risk Reduction” project, which has been carried out in Binh Dinh province since 2010.
