Description | The project will demonstrate economically competitive, environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive development for Vinh Yen city (Vinh Yen), Hue city (Hue) and Ha Giang city (Ha Giang) of Viet Nam. The project cities' green and climate resilient development approaches will be scaled up for nationwide green secondary city development in Viet Nam. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | In 2015, Viet Nam''s rapid urbanization enables cities to provide home to more than a third of the total population, i.e. 31.1 million people, and contribute to approximately 70% of national gross domestic product of $191.5 billion ($2,109 per capita). This was driven by a structural shift from agriculture to industry and services. The quality of urbanization in the country, however, is uneven. Compared to the first-tier five centrally-administered cities, development of secondary cities is significantly lagging behind. Less than 60% of secondary cities'' households are connected to the water supply systems and many do not have 24-hour supply. Only 10% of their urban wastewater is treated by a centralized system before discharging to the environment. Urban flooding stems from poor management of storm water to cope with increasing extreme weather events. Urban road network lacks its connectivity to accommodate increasing number of vehicles, while fails to promote greener mode of transportation. Development of secondary cities is an emerging challenge to support the country's next phase of development through: (i) providing job opportunities and livable environment for rural migrants; (ii) boosting local economy and closing income disparities by incubation of middle income groups; and (iii) promoting a domestic demand-driven economy. The Viet Nam''s Socio-Economic Development Strategy, 2011-2020 emphasized the need to sustain the rate of its economic growth while achieving social inclusiveness and environmental protection. This has led to the formulation of the National Program on Urban Development, 2012-2020, that requires efficient, sustainable and equitable urbanization. However, secondary cities face limited financial resources and constrained local investment due to limited basic urban infrastructures and services. Provision development still needs to rely heavily on public investments because limited size and coverage cannot support economies of scale, and insufficient cost recovery. Their limited capacity to plan, design and prioritize investments also prevents efficient use of public funds and application of innovative ideas.

Description of Outcome | Environmental sustainability, inclusiveness, and climate resilience of Ha Giang, Hue, and Vinh Yen strengthened |
Progress Toward Outcome | Ha Giang PMU: ADB approved the PPC's request for IA change from the Project Management Unit (PMU) under Ha Giang City People's Committee to the Program Coordination Office, Commodity Oriented Poverty Reduction Program (CPRP), under Ha Giang Province (Ha Giang PCO) on 08 April 2022. The handover has just been completed recently.L.3591: The contract for the construction supervision consultants in Ha Giang (HG-CS01) was signed on 12 May 2021. The consultant was on board to support PMU, however in Ha Giang no major progress has been made since December 2021, out of total 7 packages: 3 packages were awarded; 3 BERs are being finalized by PMU. The last package HG-CW05 is expected to be procured in Q1/2023. The procurement progress in Ha Giang is seriously impacted by the slow land acquisition process and design changes resulting from land acquisition constraints. BERs of several packages have been finalized but the PMU has been unable to proceed to contract signing due to the unavailability of the Resettlement Plans. Resettlement cost overruns are currently delaying the project, but with some technical scope changes the resettlement costs could be brought to 190bn VND for the whole project, or 132.8bn VND more than the allocated budget (63bn VND). The payment issues for the consultant under HG-CS01 has now been pending for more than a year. Currently, most consultants under HG-CS01 were demobilized and the new PMU is now still discussing with HG PPC on solutions.G. 0549: The contract is expected to be signed in Q4 2022. The international advisor on smart lighting will be on board to support the PMU in November 2022.Hue and Vinh Yen are progressing as planned. |
