A pilot project developed and implemented with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Vietnam office, and the Vietnam Institute for Human Right (VIHR), one of the Institutes of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics and Public Administration (HCMPA). It aims to improve the implementation of environmental law and the quality of Vietnamese life by integrating Human Rights and Environment into the HCMPA training curriculum for High Level Decision-makers in Vietnam. A new curriculum on Human Rights and Environment will be developed by Vietnamese and international experts and tested in two pilot training workshops. The project will conclude with an action plan, recommendations for improving the training package and eventual inclusion in the official curriculum of the HCMPA.
