This research examines regulatory constraints and uncertain policy implementation on NGO (non-governmental organization) operations in Vietnam, and draws lessons for NGOs, the government, and donors. Research questions were answered through qualitative methods. Twenty semi-structured interviews were conducted, thirteen with the representatives of NGOs, and seven with high-ranking government officers. In addition, documents (decisions, proposals, reports) were reviewed. The government of Vietnam continually impose regulations intended to govern NGO operations through Decree 12/2012/ND-CP, Decision 76/2010/QD-TTg., and Decree 93/2009/ND-CP. Policy implementation is uncertain and unpredictable, making government-NGO relations unhealthy. NGOs should educate the government and donors, increase the effectiveness of implementation, and acquire knowledge about government operations. The government needs to strengthen awareness about NGOs’ operations, and improve the regulatory process. Donor-NGO communications should be strengthened. In summary, the political imposition results in unhealthy government-NGO relations. Government-NGO-donor communication should be improved so that NGOs can benefit society
