NGO database? - Hanoi Answers

NGO database?

Does any one know where I could find a NGO database for Vietnam? Am interested in a complete-ish, up to date-ish list of all NGOs working in Vietnam, their mission / vision, and their actual projects / activities.

I know the VUFO- NGO resource centre has a list, however it's just for INGOs that are members, so it's very partial (only around 140 organisations, I understand).

I'd like all NGOs, including local ones.

I suspect there might be some kind of government body with an NGo database (I think all NGOs have to register with some department), however I don't know which one it is, and whether I have any chance of accessing NGO information from them.

Suggestions for how I might locate this info gratefully received.

I would suspect that the NGO resource centre list is the most complete.

The organisation that all NGOs have to register with is called PACCOM - People's Aid Coordinating Committee - they are also the umbrella for the NGO resource centre. I'm sure they have a list, I doubt they'll give it to you, but good luck!

Here's their website, http://www.ngocentre.org.vn/.

It lists International NGOs i believe along with the various working groups and a whole heap of NGO activity. Local NGOs aren't specifically listed as far as i can tell, but they are mentioned throughout the site as they tend to be project partners.

The NGO Centre's database is the most complete that's available (and a summary is printed in an annual publication) and does have local NGOs if they are project partners of International NGOs. FYI, PACCOM is only the umbrella org for INGOs, for local NGOs there's a big legislative hole that splits registration between a variety of different government bodies, VUSTA being the most common. There is currently no database for local NGOs, although there are a few projects going on that are trying to address the issue. Basically, the local NGO sector is still in the early stages of its development in Vietnam.
