The Vietnam Volunteer Information Resource Centre (VVIRC) and the UN-funded project on enhancing volunteer capacity for Vietnam’s development met on September 19 to set up a network of volunteer organisations in the central region.

Under VVIRC management, the network will gather various volunteer clubs and groups, social sponsoring centres, as well as governmental and non-governmental organisations to coordinate their volunteer activities and improve regional socio-economic development.

The network will help improve the skills of volunteers in Vietnam and give members the chance to share experience and offer support to each other in devising action plans to realise their capacity and mobilise resources.

Network members will also be able to take part in training courses run by the VVIRC or its partners and will be provided with updated information about upcoming opportunities, policies and seminars related to volunteer activities in Vietnam and across the world.

The VVIRC is a national organisation that was established by the Ho Chi Minh Youth Union with the aim of promoting, supporting and coordinating volunteer activities towards Vietnam’s development.
