Introduction :

To strengthen grassroots democracy implementation, on 10 November 2022, the National Assembly of Viet Nam approved for issuance of the Law on Grassroots Democracy Implementation, which is an important upgrade from the Ordinance No. 34/2007/PL-UBTVQH11 on implementation of grassroots democracy in communes, wards and townlets.

To support the implementation of the Law on Grassroots Democracy Implementation in the years to come, UNDP Viet Nam is looking for an experienced national research institution/research-based consulting firm/non-government organization to collaborate with in conducting the action research and advisory service to advocate for enhanced citizen participation in and transparency of state budget planning and expenditure in 2024. This action research and advisory assignment helps looking for good practices whereas citizens have effectively exercised their rights to know, to discuss, to supervise, to verify annual budget plans and expenditure at the commune level so as to draw good lessons learnt for other communes and policy implications for revision of the 2015 State Budget Law.
