Please find attached the workshop report for your information.

In order to support the organization of the Sixth CBA Conference in Vietnam, NGOs members are invited to join in the Vietnam taskforce (NGOs of the two networks CCWG and DMWG, UNDP, members from DMC, DDMFSC, Department of Science, Technology and International Cooperation, some agency under MONRE, and the Redcross).
