Belgium has committed more than 4 million euros of non-refundable official development assistance (ODA) to help Vietnam strengthen its capacity in the planning reform.
Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung and Belgian Ambassador to Vietnam Angelet Bruno have signed a specific agreement for the project “Capacity Development for the Planning Reform (CDPR)”, with a total budget of 4.3 million euros.
The project aims to improve the preparation and implementation of a socio-economic development plan through improved planning and budgeting for pro-poor and pro-growth policies and interventions.
It will focus on strengthening the capacity of central level, provincial and selected local authorities and, monitoring and evaluating plans and budget estimation through an improved legal framework and training of trainers.
Under the project, selected central ministries and key planning staff at provincial level will have the opportunity to learn and share information on international planning experiences and best practices, as well as more in depth capacity building activities for selected sub provincial authorities.
The project will last four years and the Ministry of Planning and Investment will be responsible for the implementation and management of the project.
