Nowadays, non-governmental organizations play an important role in the policy-making process, advocating for the development of sustainable development strategies and environmental protection in countries. In Vietnam, the participation of non-governmental organizations is actively supporting the process of handling environmental conflicts, especially when Vietnam is facing the risk of environmental pollution disasters, which can seriously affect people's lives.

With an independent role, these organizations are not only the focal point for receiving and mobilizing funding for programs and activities to protect resources and the environment towards sustainable development, but also contribute to proposing policy issues, helping policy makers have more arguments for the policy decision-making process in areas related to the environment, including the field of environmentally friendly technology. The thesis analyzes the factors leading to the participation of non-governmental organizations in the policy-making process on environmentally friendly technology in Vietnam; the advantages and disadvantages of non-governmental organizations as well as the role of non-governmental organizations in the policy-making process on environmentally friendly technology in Vietnam.
