Norwegian People's Aid Vietnam commences Quality Management Training

Norwegian People’s Aid (NPA) Vietnam has kicked off the new year with a focused Quality Management Refresher Training for its teams in Quang Tri Province. Conducted over two days from January 2-3, 2025, this training marked the formal resumption of work after the holiday break.

Led by NPA Vietnam’s Quality Management Coordinator, Le Hoai Niem, the program aimed to enhance Quality Management knowledge and skills among team leaders and field operations officers. This initiative ensures consistently high-quality operations across all activities.

During the training, participants delved into the essentials of Quality Management, covering crucial terminology, definitions, and standards pertinent to both national and international mine action, as well as NPA’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Additionally, the training clarified the distinct differences between Quality Assurance and Quality Control, thereby emphasizing the importance of addressing Non-Conformances, both critical and minor.

Moreover, a practical session on Quality Assurance and Control procedures at a battle area clearance site allowed participants to apply what they learned in a real-world context, culminating in a dynamic exchange of ideas and best practices.

As a result, NPA Vietnam is confident that this training has equipped its teams with the requisite knowledge and tools to uphold the highest quality standards in their work. Ultimately, this initiative reinforces NPA Vietnam’s commitment to safety and effectiveness in all humanitarian mine action activities.

Finally, the organization extends its heartfelt gratitude to the governments of the Norway, United States and the Federal Republic of Germany for their invaluable support in funding these crucial efforts in Vietnam.
