The Parliamentary Centre of Asia (PCAsia) is an independent, non-partisan institute dedicated to supporting ASEAN parliaments through tailored capacity development, dialogue platforms, and evidence-based research. PCAsia promotes good parliamentary practice and regional cooperation on shared challenges such as climate change, gender equality, and inclusive economic growth. Through partnerships with ASEAN parliaments, AIPA, and development partners, PCAsia strengthens parliamentary performance by connecting parliaments together and with citizens, contributing to responsive and accountable governance across the region.

PROJECT CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND

This assignment contributes to the project “Parliaments Strengthening Forest Governance through Consensus-Based Approaches”, implemented by PCAsia and the East-West Management Institute (EWMI) under the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office’s Forest Governance, Markets and Climate Programme, Phase 2 (FGMC2).

The forest sector in Viet Nam includes a wide range of State bodies, oversight mechanisms, and commercial actors relevant to parliamentary scrutiny. This assignment supports the early analytical foundation by identifying actors within those groups with significant influence on forest-governance decisions who are most relevant for parliamentary engagement.
