ActionAid Vietnam (AAV) started its programme in Ninh Phuoc District of Ninh Thuan province in 2001. After 13 years of its operations AAV plans to phase out its Child Sponsorship Programme in the district and hand over the development programmes to the Development Woman Assistance Fund (DWAF) in October 2014. AAV applied Human Fights-Based Approach (which will be discussed in the next sections) to ensure that the programme meets the basic needs of people and communities, and strengthen their capacities and knowledge, in the 3 communes (An Hai, Phuoc Hai, and Phuoc Dinh) under the Local Rights Programme 4 (LRP4). Before phasing out, AAV through this independent assessment aims to “review the results, efficiency and impact of this Programme; consider how activities could be continued and expanded, as well as share lessons learned with other programme areas of AAV”.
