Overview of the workshop

Consulting, criticism and social appraisal are among the important tasks assigned by the Party and the State to the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations and its member associations. Social criticism and appraisal have a positive impact, contributing to preventing negative impacts in the development and implementation of development investment programs and projects. However, due to the lack of synchronous and specific legal documents and the limited capacity of the Union and its member associations, not much has been done. The urgent issue now is to improve the capacity of the Union, its member associations and socio-political organizations to meet the requirements of consulting, criticism and social appraisal in an orderly manner, with quality social criticism and appraisal reports, contributing positively to the socio-economic development of the province now and in the future.
