VietNamNet Bridge – The 2013 Vietnam Anti-Corruption Initiative
Programme (VACI) was launched in Hanoi on November 29 to support ideas aiming
at mitigating corruption and increasing transparency and responsibility for a
better living environment.
The programme also offers chances
for the initiators to meet and exchange ideas.
Addressing the launch ceremony,
Deputy Inspector General Tran Duc Luong said Vietnam has a quite comprehensive
legal framework regarding anti-corruption.
However, there are still
shortcomings in the application and enforcement of legal documents and
policies, especially in some localities, he said, stressing the need to
increase the effectiveness of policy implementation.
According to the Head of the UK
Department for International Development to Vietnam Fiona Lappin, a lack of
transparency and honesty will breed corruption.
She said VACI programmes in 2009
and 2011 have helped change community’s awareness via initiatives, adding that
she believes the 2013 programme will be a success.
The Vietnam Anti-Corruption
Initiative Programme invites the submission of ideas on how to build a serving
administration, strengthen public honesty and morality and increase
transparency and the right to information access as well as the sense of
responsibility.
Twenty best ideas will be
selected for prize awarding and cash funding for implementation, with 300
million VND at the maximum for each.
From December 12-20, the
organising board, including the Inspectorate General and the World Bank, will
organise five seminars to introduce the programme in Hanoi, Thai Nguyen and Dak
Lak provinces, Ho Chi Minh City and Can Tho City.
