''Nordic Assistance to Vietnam'' or NAV is a non-governmental organization giving social and humanitarian assistance in Vietnam. NAV was founded in 1994 as a cooperative effort of three Scandinavian non-governmental organizations: the Norwegian Norwegian Church Aid (lead agency), the Danish DanChurchAid, and the Swedish Diakonia. In 1997 and 2003, DanChurchAid and Diakonia withdrew, so that NAV is now a project only of Norwegian Church Aid.〔INGO Directory - Nordic Assistance to Vietnam, VUFO-NGO Resource Centre, retrieved June 23, 2010.〕〔(Vietnam ), Kirkens Nødhjelp - Hvor vi jobber, June 24, 2008 (Norwegian), retrieved June 23, 2010.〕 Initially, NAV focused on rural development in Thừa Thiên–Huế Province.
