Preparatory Process of Developing a New Subproject Management Model
Pilot and Demonstration Activity: Viet Nam
Pilot-test the Preparatory Process of Developing a New Subproject Management Model
This PDA firmed up and elaborated the design of Viet Nam’s Central Region Water Resources Project (CRWRP) to accommodate the trial of a new subproject operations and maintenance model.

In December 2004, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) presented a plan for “Innovating and raising efficiency of irrigation works management.” An integral part of this plan is a strategic framework for Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM). This framework was developed and finalized with the support of ADB, DANIDA, International Network for Participatory Irrigation Management and the World Bank in 2004.
ADB's Central Region Water Resources Project (CRWRP) in Viet Nam aims to develop the country's water resources in the poorest provinces of the country's central region. To support the project, this PDA developed and tested CRWRP's model design for operations and maintenance, along the lines suggested by MARD in its plan for a national irrigation management overhaul.
The output will be a project component design that is in tune with MARD's recently issued policy statement on irrigation O&M, has the endorsement and support of the provincial governments, and is thus ready for implementation under CRWRP.

The resulting participatory process approach component, however, allows flexibility in a changing environment, and did not fit the overall project design of the CRWRSP as was expected.
