Vietnam is making efforts to enforce new national legal provisions and comply with international commitments regarding judicial proceedings for commercial disputes under the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and other recent national laws. To help meet these requirements, USAID’s Governance for Inclusive Growth Program and the Vietnam Supreme People’s Court organized a training program on August 1-2 for 55 representatives from provincial and district courts nationwide to equip them with the knowledge and skills to improve the quality of judicial proceedings for commercial disputes.

Occupational Therapy (OT), a relatively new practice in Vietnam, is one of three vital rehabilitation interventions (along with Physical and Speech/Language Therapy) that improves persons with disabilities’ independence and enables participation in social activities. USAID recently hosted Vietnam’s first OT professionals meeting, bringing together more than fifty practitioners from the Ministry of Health, hospitals and universities.
Currently, the Vietnam Authority for AIDS Control (VAAC) procures pediatric antiretroviral (ARV) medications with support from the Global Fund. However, unforeseen budget planning obstacles combined with a significant increase in pediatric patients created a potentially serious shortage of pediatric ARV medications in early 2018. Working to avert this shortage, USAID’s Global Health Supply Chain-Procurement and Supply Management Project rapidly responded to VAAC’s needs, helping them forecast and procure a one-time order for pediatric ARVs.
The use of precedent in law ― an act, decision, or case that serves as a guide or justification for subsequent situations ― was officially recognized by Vietnam’s Supreme People’s Court in 2016. This has resulted in an increased demand for skilled judges, lawyers and other law practitioners who can apply precedent in legal writing and judgements effectively.
