Historical Note

The National Institute of Administration was a part of the Michigan State University Vietnam Project. Vietnamese civil servants were trained in modern administration techniques. The goal was to have the trainees apply their learning in order to continue the work of the project in the reorganization of the civil agencies of the government after the project ended.

Richard W. Lindholm was an Economics professor at Michigan State University.
