Ms. Tran Thi Thu Hien - JIFF Fund Manager, shares some information about the EU JULE project
EU JULE is a project funded by the European Union to support the Government of Vietnam to strengthen justice services for citizens. The project “Strengthening the Law and Justice in Vietnam” funded by the European Union aims to strengthen the socialist rule of law through a more reliable and accessible justice system, targeting vulnerable groups, especially women, children, ethnic minorities and the poor, to help resolve difficulties in using public services in the justice system to exercise their legal rights as prescribed by law.
The cooperation project is not simply about popularizing knowledge about water safety to children and parents in remote areas, but also aims to guide skills in practical cases. Ms. Tran Thi Thu Hien believes that with many years of experience implementing community service projects, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities will be able to connect academic knowledge in social science research with community service work in Vietnam.
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Thi Kim Hoa reports on the project's progress.
