Preliminary results of VCF's first set of challenge

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. 

The Vietnam Challenge Fund has sent out letters to all applicants to advise them of the IAP's decision on their respective submissions.  If you were an applicant and have not received such a letter by mid-March 2010, then please contact us. 

The Vietnam Challenge Fund would like to thank everyone who submitted an application.  We received a very strong response and so the competition for funding has been high.

The Vietnam Challenge Fund expects to announce a new set of challenges, and to re-open the 'window' for new applications, in the third quarter of 2010.
