    Country Report 2018: Vietnam
    (2018) Vu, Anh Ngoc
    In Vietnam, there is a grid of laws, regulations and administrative decrees put in place to regulate and control associations. Most of these legal documents were created in ad-hoc ways, meaning that they were issued simply as a temporary measure to cope with an increasing number of associations. There is a notable gap between what is stipulated in the Constitution and the existence of legal documents that realize such constitutional rights.

    Experiencing Nonprofits in Vietnam: What Matters Most to the People Nonprofits Aim to Serve
    (2024-07) Doan, Dana R. H.; Benjamin, Lehn M.; Wiepking, Pamala; Dwyer, Patrick C.; Pasic, Dean Amir; Merritt, Cullen C.; Sidel, Mark
    To better understand nonprofit performance and impact, this study set out to identify the salient viewpoints of the individuals and communities a nonprofit human service provider sets out to serve, i.e., the nonprofit’s constituents. Focusing on the first encounter with a nonprofit, which the service management, public encounters, and help-seeking literatures all identify as important to understanding experiences of and engagement with service organizations, I ask: How does a constituent’s first encounter with a nonprofit influence their experience and decision to engage with the organization? To address this question, I implemented a community-engaged, multi-phased, Q methodology study with 56 women in Vietnam. I utilized a focus group discussion, in-depth interviews, participant reflections on a first visit to a nonprofit, a Q sort, and debrief interviews. My research revealed three viewpoints and four dimensions of effectiveness. The three viewpoints include: Mutuality - I am looking for signs we can work together as equal partners to address my problem; Caring - I am looking for signs you are personally motivated towards helping me; and Efficiency - I am looking for signs I can get what I need in a timely manner. The four dimensions of effectiveness include: relational, technical, accessibility, and other dimensions of effectiveness. Regardless of the viewpoint, the relational dimension of an encounter is central to constituent decisions to engage with a nonprofit, a dimension that is undertheorized in social impact measurement. That said, all three viewpoints bring the four dimensions of effectiveness together in distinct ways. In this way, a Q study reminds us that constituents are not all the same and exposes some of the differences. These findings offer implications for research and practice on nonprofit management and measurement.

    Vietnam and Philanthropy: Social Movements, Economic Development and Ocean Issues. Teaching Case Study and Teaching Notes
    (2022-11) Danahey Janin, Pat
    This teaching case study and teaching note are pedagogical tools to develop the skills of undergraduate students in analyzing a philanthropic landscape. The case is based on the decision dilemma of a philanthropic actor in the face of a 2016 fish kill event that impacted the ocean environment and the livelihoods of communities in central Vietnam. The event sparked environmental protests and multiple responses to a general government crack down on civil society. Students are asked to position themselves on the decision dilemma and discover the complexity and challenges of a philanthropic actor’s activity. The text contains information about the political, economic, social and cultural environment in Vietnam and the development, manifestation and common approaches to philanthropic activity (giving, associating and volunteering). The teaching note provides suggestions on teaching delivery, discussion scenarios and reading material on civil society, philanthropic actors’ responses to the shrinking space of civil society, multi-disciplinary approaches to volunteering, cultural influences on philanthropic behavior and environmental movements.
