One model is carried out by Charity Association of Quang Tri province in central Vietnam. The other model is conducted by Center “For Tomorrow” in Ha Noi. The study aimed to find lessons for replicating and and developing CBR models across the country. The study was conducted in late 2016 with three tasks: i) Gathering and syntherizing information on formation, development and operation of the two models; ii) Identifying advantages, disadvantages, successes and lessons learned from the two models; iii) Making recommendation for replication of the models.
