On June 19th SRD held a second "Organizational Capacity Assessment (OCA)” workshop under the broader “Vietnam Forests and Deltas” (VFD) project funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). This activity was designed within the project to support local non-governmental organizations (VNGOs) in improving their organizational capacity in order to be eligible to directly receive funds from USAID since 2013. SRD was one of four strategic partners to be selected.

From there, they will establish the base for developing short term and long term action plans for the center to improve its organizational capacity in its role as a reliable partner of USAID and other donors.
