In order to ensure the research quality of the projects outlined in the concept notes, all concept notes will undergo a review process, including an assessment of their development relevance and their degree of integration with the Danish bilateral development assistance. The Consultative Research Committee for Development Research (FFU) will decide which concept notes will be recommended and they will subsequently be presented in the Danish media in order to give Danish research institutions an opportunity to indicate their interest in collaboration with the Tanzanian and Vietnamese research institutions. The selected Vietnamese and Tanzanian institutions will be invited to Denmark to meet their possible Danish partner research institution. The Vietnamese and Tanzanian partners will inform the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs about their selection of Danish research partner. In cooperation with the selected Danish partners the concept notes will be revised and an appropriation note on each individual project will be written in December 2009. The Process Action Plans for Tanzania and Vietnam are available for download in the top right corner of this page, just like the framework agreement between Vietnam and Denmark.
