Mission Statement
The vision of the parent organization is “Together for a just world”. It is founded on the belief that all human beings are created equals with the same basic rights and obligations regardless of race, gender, ethnic origin, religious and political beliefs. NAV's aim is to improve the situation of poor and marginalised groups. Prioritised groups are women, children, People Living with HIV (PLHIV) and poor families of migrants and resettled people. Through both material support and capacity building NAV works towards enabling families to raise their standards of living as well as their community participation. In all its activities NAV emphasizes building sustainability beyond the project period itself. By involving local women and men as well as authorities and mass-organizations, NAV seeks to foster both community and individual ownership to the projects and its deliverables. In its programs NAV promotes participation, gender equality and a sustainable development.
History of operations in Vietnam
Nordic Assistance to Vietnam (NAV) was established in 1994 as a consortium of three Nordic Non-Governmental Organizations; Norwegian Church Aid from Norway, DanChurchAid from Denmark and Diakonia from Sweden. As Norwegian Church Aid already initiated in 1992 some first activities, it took on the role as the lead agency. The first programs focused on integrated rural development in both the mountainous and lowland areas of the Thua Thien Hue province. In 1997 and 2003 respectively DanChurchAid and Diakonia pulled out of Vietnam. Today only Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) remains as a parent organization.
