From 10-12 October 2019, leadership and the management of Viet Nam Red Cross (VNRC) gathered in Hanoi to visualize the VNRC’s the future. The process participated by both VNRC’s external and RCRC Movement partners where relevance an applicability to the role of VNRC with the purpose if legitimizing the work carried out in the country were highlighted and entry points for identification of actions that serve to increase the recognition and trust of the population.

The process seeks to stimulate the idea of and visualize VNRC that is attuned to current times and built on the experience and knowledge gained over the years, from the perspective of challenges and opportunities in the current context of the country. As part of the process, models of sustainability and institutional strengthening will be defined.

The process of visioning includes at least three moments that we have called “circles for change“. The main objective of these moments is to define the strategic priorities for development and sustainability that will serve to give a clear direction on the model of VNRC that is sought to respond to the demands of the present context, trends and future needs.

Please note that the process is far from any existing conflict within the national society and focuses mainly on building a future in the form of commitments within in each of the circles.

During the 2 and ½ day visioning process, the VNRC leadership demonstrated their strong commitment to reflecting the change, making change and bringing change in the future and in particular in its Strategic Plan 2030 development.
