| Description | |||||
| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | Viet Nam has made remarkable progress in poverty reduction over the last 15 years by carrying out a broad range of policy reforms to foster sustainable and inclusive economic growth and strengthen social protection. Since 2002, an increasing number of multilateral and bilateral development agencies have supported these reforms through the World Bank led PRSC process. The PRSC process comprises several closely related activities jointly undertaken each year by participating development agencies to help the Government carry out policy reforms needed for the successful implementation of its poverty reduction strategy. The process involves the preparation of Viet Nam development reports by participating agencies, consultations on the policy matrices for PRSCs among participating agencies and between these agencies and the Government, and general budget support (in the form of grants and concessional loans) to Viet Nam by participating agencies to cover some of the costs of the policy reforms to the budget. The World Bank coordinates PRSC activities for the participating development agencies. ADB joined the PRSC process in 2003 and has taken part in all PRSC activities since then. In 2004 2007, ADB approved four single tranche standard program loans (one loan every year) to Viet Nam to support, through the PRSC process, the implementation of the Government's poverty reduction programs. SIPRPs I III provided parallel financing with the World Bank's PRSCs 3 5, respectively, in support of the implementation of the Government's Comprehensive Poverty Reduction and Growth Strategy 2002 2010. SIPRP IV provided parallel financing with PRSC 6 in support of the implementation of SEDP 2006 2010. With SIPRP V, ADB will stay involved in the PRSC process through 2010, that is, until the implementation of SEDP 2006 2010 is completed. This will enable ADB to promote, with relatively modest financing, a wide spectrum of policy reforms that are essential for the successful implementation of SEDP 2006 2010. Consequently, the proposed program cluster will help ADB achieve the strategic objective of its country strategy and program 2007 2010 for Viet Nam, which is to help the Government reduce the poverty rate to 10% 11% by 2010 through the successful implementation of SEDP 2006 2010. Furthermore, continued participation in the PRCS process will provide ADB with another means of coordinating its activities in Viet Nam with those of other development agencies. SIPRP V will help ADB fulfill its obligations under the Rome Declaration on Harmonization (2003), the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness (2005), and the Hanoi Core Statement on Aid Effectiveness (2005). | ||||
| Impact | The intended impact of SIPRP V is a continued reduction in poverty in Viet Nam in 2008 2010 and beyond. Its expected outcome is the successful implementation of the Government's SEDP 2006 2010, which will not only reduce poverty in 2006 2010 but also improve Viet Nam's economic competitiveness and strengthen the foundations for sustainable and inclusive growth and a continued reduction in poverty beyond 2010. | ||||
