All organisations that have legal status can take part in and submit their projects, except for inspection agencies, World Bank agencies, army and police.

Foreign organisations are also welcome to join the program if they coordinate with Vietnamese units.

The organising board will choose the best 20 projects to fund for implementation.

Agencies which won awards at previous competitions are encouraged to participate in the the program or expand their former projects.

Entries should be sent to the VACI organising board by March 21, 2014 at D29 Tran Thai Tong, Cau Giay, Hanoi or email .
