The Vietnam Challenge Fund's first call for submissions closed on 31st December  2009. The Fund's Independent Appraisal Panel (IAP) met in February 2010 and selected those submissions that will be invited to proceed to the next stage of the application process, which is to submit a more detailed project proposal. 

Following the first ‘call’ for submissions to the Vietnam Challenge Fund (VCF) in December 2009, VCF has selected 12 projects for funding assistance.  

 

After the Policy Action Research Unit (PARU) closed its first ‘call’ for proposals in January 2010, four policy action research projects in the fields of labour market and value chain development have now been selected for funding.
