(VOVworld) – Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has approved a United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)-funded project to enhance anti-corruption efforts in Vietnam.

The project will be implemented over the next four years at an estimated cost of more than 1.5 million USD. It aims to strengthen the Vietnamese government’s anti-corruption capacity through fully observing the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) and expanding the role of the non-state sector in anti-corruption activities.

The project will improve legislation, build a database to assist in monitoring and evaluating anti-corruption work, and improve oversight of social organizations.
