Consultant End-Term Evaluation

1. Background

The Norwegian Mission Alliance in Vietnam (NMA-V) is an international NGO that has been operating in southern Vietnam, particularly in the Mekong Delta, for over 20 years.

NMA-V’s main areas of work include community development, social inclusion of people with disabilities (PWDs), and microfinance to support women’s economic empowerment.

Since 2016, NMA-V has implemented the project “Social Inclusion of People with Disabilities” in cooperation with the Can Tho Association of People with Disabilities (CAPD) and other partners. The project aims to enhance the social inclusion of PWDs and children with disabilities (CWDs) through inclusive education, community engagement, and organizational strengthening.

In the current phase (2021–2025), the project has expanded its support to additional districts in Can Tho City and continues to collaborate with Departments of Education and Training (DOETs) and other stakeholders.

The project’s goal is to ensure that CWDs and PWDs are included in society and can fully exercise their rights and needs.
