Description
This funding opportunity, managed by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the UK Home Office, seeks proposals for the Modern Slavery Fund Viet Nam Programme (2026–2029). The programme aims to combat human trafficking and exploitation affecting Vietnamese nationals through targeted interventions in Viet Nam and the United Kingdom. It focuses on three central outcomes: prevention of trafficking, improved identification and protection of victims, and strengthened institutional capacity and cross-border cooperation. The programme is structured with two distinct funding streams: one supporting comprehensive activities in Viet Nam, and a second supporting UK-based initiatives to improve identification and support for Vietnamese victims in the UK.
