The Consultative Group (CG) Meetings for Vietnam bring together participants from the Government of Vietnam, representatives of about 50 bilateral and multilateral donors to Vietnam, representatives of the Vietnam Business Forum and International NGOs. Vietnamese NGOs  representatives participate as observers. Consultative Group meetings provide a forum for discussions between the Government of Vietnam and its development partners on economic policy issues, strategies for reducing poverty, and ODA effectiveness.

The full CG meets every year, usually in December. Since 1999 these meetings have been held in Vietnam and it is intended that all future meetings will be held in-country. In addition to full CG meetings, since 1998 informal mid-year CG meetings have been held in Vietnam, usually in May or June of each year.

The Government delegation includes senior representatives from key ministries and governmental bodies, including the Ministry of Planning and Investment, Ministry of Finance, and the State Bank of Vietnam. The Consultative Group for Vietnam is co-chaired by the Minister of Planning and Investment and the Country Director of the World Bank in Vietnam.
