Vocational training in Bac Kan in the north of Vietnam

Organisation of the committee

The law stipulates that every member of the government appoints a representative and a deputy to ensure that the committee is as all-inclusive as possible.

In a letter dated 12 September Minister Marie-Josée Jacobs invited all members of the government to appoint a representative, including the Prime Minister. This process was completed by 9 October. The list of members was subsequently published on the Directorate’s website in order to promote procedural transparency.

The director of Development Cooperation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs chairs the committee, whilst the deputy director coordinates the agenda. The committee’s permanent secretary is an official from the Directorate for Development Cooperation.
