The Manual on Citizen Monitoring of Land Use and Management was developed with an aim of providing a general guide on methods and processes for people to monitor, collect information, assess the performance of state agencies, and assess the compliance of functional agencies in accordance with specific standards and criteria prescribed by law, from which they can report or petition to the authorities to make adjustment in a timely manner based on the framework of existing law.
In Viet Nam citizen monitoring is enshrined in its Constitution, and reflected in the 2013 Land Law.
