VACI 2011 is aimed at raising public awareness of anti-corruption with the participation of state agencies, socio-political organizations, and Vietnam’s local legal organizations recognized by the state.
Speaking at the launching, Vice Chief Government Inspector Tran Duc Luong emphasized that enhancing public uprightness with a focus on increasing transparency, responsibility, and morality is one of the key measures to combat corruption.
As Vietnam is promoting the building of a socialist law-governed State, it is essential to improve the effectiveness of law implementation, Luong said.
Contest entries should be sent to the International Cooperation Department of the Government Inspectorate by May 31, 2011.
The awards ceremony is scheduled to take place in August, 2011.
