VBF: GOVERNANCE & INTEGRITY WG - SHARING THE FINAL STUDY REPORT - ANALYSIS OF CORRUPTION RISKS FOR INVESTORS IN VIETNAM
The VBF Governance & Integrity Working Group completed successfully the Report of Study – Analysis of Corruption Risks for Investors in Vietnam. Two workshops were conducted in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh on 20th Feb and 22nd Feb respectively to share the findings of the report and seek for comments from relevant stakeholders.
This report was made possible by the financial support of the UK’s South East Asia Prosperity Fund, under framework of the project “Promoting the application of international standards on business integrity to enhance international integration and improve business environment in Vietnam”, implemented by VBF and Censogor from June 2016 to March 2017. The report was also supported and contributed by the ASEAN CSR Network.
