Within the framework of the project “Strengthening Law and Justice in Vietnam” supported by the EU and UNDP, in 2019, the Vietnam Lawyers Association coordinated with UNDP to conduct a survey to assess the need for capacity building of the team of consultants and collaborators providing legal advice and legal aid of the Vietnam Lawyers Association. In addition to finding out the need to improve legal advice skills for legal consultants and officers of the Lawyers Association at all levels, the need to improve management skills and organizational development for the Legal Advice Centers under the Vietnam Lawyers Association was also identified with the aim of continuously improving the quality of legal advice and legal aid services provided by these Centers.
In 2022, the Vietnam Lawyers Association coordinated with UNDP to select independent experts to develop training materials on this skill. The draft set of documents has been completed and finalized based on the comments of experts and leaders of the Legal Advice Center at the consultation meeting on April 14, 2023.
In order to continue to perfect the document set with the desire to have the best version before officially using it to train officials of the Vietnam Lawyers Association nationwide, within the framework of the Program "Strengthening Law and Justice in Vietnam" funded by the EU and managed by the Ministry of Justice, the Vietnam Lawyers Association and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) jointly organized a pilot training session on this document. Delegates participating in the training session will experience the use of the document, then provide feedback so that the Lawyers Association and experts have a basis to continue perfecting the document.

Ms. Le Thi Kim Thanh - Vice President of the Vietnam Lawyers Association, chaired the training session, expressing her hope that the content of this document will meet the real needs of legal consultancy centers in particular and of the Bar Association staff at all levels in general, and hopes that delegates will have the most practical contributions based on their own experiences.
