Socialist Republic of Vietnam Scaling Up Rural Sanitation: Enabling Environment, Capacity Building System, Evidence Based Learning and Lesson Sharing
(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2016-04-26) World Bank
This report concerns two streams of Technical Assistance provided by the World Bank Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) to the Government of Vietnam. They are: strengthening the enabling environment, capacity building systems and evidence-based learning and lesson sharing. Strengthening demand creation and supply chain development together these TAs make up a support program to assist the Government of Vietnam, particularly the Ministry of Health (MOH) in accelerating progress on sanitation under the third National Target Program on Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (NTP3). WSP has supported the government to improve the enabling environment for sanitation service delivery; strengthen rural sanitation supply chains; generate demand for improved sanitation; and inform service delivery models through knowledge and learning. The TAs began in Dec 2012 and are due to end in Jun 2016. This report documents the results and lessons learned from the TA, and makes recommendations for future activities in support of rural sanitation.

Improving Vietnam's Sustainability : Rural Road Pavement and Surfacing Design Options
(Washington, DC, 2014) World Bank
Recent research in S E Asia and Vietnam in particular, funded by the World Bank and DfID since 2003, has focused on improving rural community access through more sustainable low volume rural road design. More appropriate design ensures that roads built are cost effective in terms of whole life performance. Because of increasing recognition that gravel surfacing was not always the best solution for rural roads in Vietnam, the initial research focused on the performance of existing unsealed roads and the identification of sustainable alternatives. Subsequent research has focused on the relative performance of the alternative option trials and their role in providing a more climate resilient rural infrastructure. In general, this work has concentrated on a range of pavements to establish the best performance within a range of physical and socio-economic environments. This note highlights the findings of the Rural Road Gravel Assessment Programme (RRGAP) and the Rural Road Surfacing Trials (RRST phases I, II and III) undertaken within Vietnam under the umbrella of the Ministry of Transport Rural Road Surfacing Research (RRSR) committee. Outcomes were enhanced by information from complimentary projects within Lao PDR and Cambodia.
Improving Land Sector Governance in Vietnam
(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2013-12) Vo, Dang Hung; Thang, Nguyen Van
The Land Governance Assessment Framework (LGAF) was designed to address these challenges by the World Bank, based on a comprehensive review of available conceptual and empirical materials regarding experience in land governance. The objective of LGAF is was developed as a diagnostic tool for a systematic evaluating and benchmarking legal framework, policies and practices regarding land and land use. This document represents the country report for Vietnam’s national LGAF Study. This important exercise was undertaken by team of national experts, with support from the World Bank, and in collaboration with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MoNRE) in 2013. The Study’s objective was to provide the means for better understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the Vietnamese land sector; establish a consensus on the status of land governance in the country and identify priority actions for regulatory and institutional changes and the piloting of new approaches to improve land governance on a broader scale.The Study’s Report describes the process for LGAF implementation and the country context. The assessment of land governance is also presented, as well as the policy analysis, conclusions and recommendations. The report is intended to serve as a reference guide for policy makers and land practitioners in the government and non-government organizations such as private sector, academe and other groups to help shape the direction, focus and support for the land sector, and how progress in improving governance can be effectively monitored.
Survey Report on Information Disclosure of Land Management Regulations
(World Bank, 2010-11-23) Anh, Nguyen Ngoc; Nhat, Nguyen Duc; Thuy, Tran Thanh; Prickett, Kirby; Van, Phan Thi
Land, and its proper management, is a central issue in developing countries. Efficient use and management of land are key contributors to maximizing the potential benefits of sustainable socioeconomic development. Accurate and accessible land information is a necessary requirement for sustainable rural and urban development, which will contribute to the elimination of poverty. A well-functioning land market is crucial for achieving these goals and a prerequisite for a land market to function properly includes easy, rapid and cost-effective access to land information. Although the Vietnam Land Law (2003) aims at facilitating the development of a land market, there are still impediments to the growth of the land market due to a lack of access to land information. Consequently, land information users depend on personal contacts or approach land sellers through informal means. Therefore, enhancing access to land information is of high priority as land information is fundamental to decision-making on land investment and management. Although the promulgation of these land management laws and regulations is considered significant and substantial progress in improving access to land information, there is a lack of systematic empirical evidence as to how well the transparency provisions of the legal framework on land management in Vietnam have been implemented in practice. Against this background, this report is prepared to document the actual disclosure of land information as required by the laws and regulations.
Fisheries and Aquaculture Sector Study : Final Report, Fisheries and Aquaculture Sector Study
(Washington, DC, 2005-02) World Bank
The fisheries and aquaculture sectors are significant contributors to the economy of Vietnam. Direct production value (at the farm gate or on the wharf) in 2003 was approximately $1.7 billion. Both sectors have expanded rapidly over the past decade, with marine fisheries production rising from 800,000 to 1.5 million tons over the period 1990 to 2003. Aquaculture production has increased rapidly to around one million tons, while inland fisheries contribute in excess of 200,000 tons. The study has two main objectives: (i) to review the status and needs of the fisheries, aquaculture and aquatic resource management in Vietnam; and (ii) to identify key areas of intervention that can reduce poverty, increase production and improve environmental management of the sectors on a sustainable basis. The study concludes by summarizing major development priorities and next steps for the sectors to develop on principles of shared management in fisheries and aquaculture planning, development and management.
