Viet Nam : Water Efficiency Improvement in Drought Affected Provinces
The proposed Water Efficiency Improvement in Drought Affected Provinces (the project) aims to improve agriculture water productivity (crop per drop) by increasing water use efficiency in irrigated agriculture in five drought affected provinces in the Central Highland and South Central Coastal Regions: Binh Thuan, Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Khanh Hoa, and Ninh Thuan.
The impact of the project is productivity and competitiveness, climate resilience and disaster preparedness in the agriculture sector enhanced in line with the government's ARP. The outcome is water productivity of irrigated agriculture in five drought affected provinces of the Central Highland and South Central Coastal Regions improved. The outputs are: (i) delivery of irrigation management services improved; (ii) modernized and climate resilient irrigation systems developed; and (iii) improved on-farm water management practices adopted.

| Description | The proposed Water Efficiency Improvement in Drought Affected Provinces (the project) aims to improve agriculture water productivity (crop per drop) by increasing water use efficiency in irrigated agriculture in five drought affected provinces in the Central Highland and South Central Coastal Regions: Binh Thuan, Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Khanh Hoa, and Ninh Thuan. The impact of the project is productivity and competitiveness, climate resilience and disaster preparedness in the agriculture sector enhanced in line with the government's ARP. The outcome is water productivity of irrigated agriculture in five drought affected provinces of the Central Highland and South Central Coastal Regions improved. The outputs are: (i) delivery of irrigation management services improved; (ii) modernized and climate resilient irrigation systems developed; and (iii) improved on-farm water management practices adopted. Under Output 1, the project will support participating IMCs and WUGs to adopt modernized irrigation management practices and more sustainable O&M measures, which will improve the sustainability and returns on public investments and strengthen climate change response measures. Output 2 will support modernization of eight irrigation systems serving a command area of around 33,500 ha planted primarily in high value crops. Modernizing will entail measures such as improved conveyance, flow regulating, and monitoring systems. Output 3 will support demonstrations of innovative on-farm water-saving irrigation solutions. The project will also attract private investors to invest in large scale agriculture production and processing in designated high-tech agriculture zones'. Such investments will increase the revenue generating potential of the project investment. |

| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | ADB''s Country Partnership Strategy (2016-2020) supports the specific aims of the ARP while also promoting enhanced and inclusive service delivery, climate change resilience and improved disaster risk management. More specifically, the agriculture, natural resources and rural development (ANR) sector strategy aims to maintain sustainable growth of the sector and enhance rural living standards. Water resource management is an integral part of the ANR sector strategy and the proposed project directly supports measures to improve efficiency and productivity of water use in the sector. The project is also consistent with ADB Water Operational Plan 2011-2020, Operational Plan for Integrated Disaster Risk Management 2014-2020 and ADB Strategy 2020 Midterm Review. The project is the first phase in a programmatic approach to address water resource management over the 2016-2020 period. | ||||||

| Stakeholder Communication, Participation, and Consultation | |
| During Project Design | The five participating provincial people's committees, their departments of agriculture and rural development, together with local communities/irrigated agriculture producers, agri-business community are the principal stakeholders. People's committees and their relevant departments will participate in scoping during project design while local communities/irrigated agriculture producers, agri-business community will participate in consultation to identify their needs, opportunities, constraints and project interventions to ensure their full participation, benefit and mitigation of negative impacts (such as of resettlement, etc.). |
| During Project Implementation | On 21 Dec 2016, an inception workshop was attended by representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, State Bank of Viet Nam (SBV), Provincial People Committees (PPCs) and Department of Agriculture and Rural Development from each provinces. The PPTA inception phase culminated with a workshop on 27-28 Feb 2017, where the design and monitoring framework of the project was developed through inclusive processing involving government, ADB and the PPTA team. A mid term workshop was conducted in April 2017. In July 2017, a fact-finding mission to finalized the project design with the government was fielded. |
| Business Opportunities | |
|---|---|
| Consulting Services | The PPTA will require a consulting firm to provide 21 person-months (p-m) of international and 42 p-m of national consultants. An additional 3 p-m of international and 4 p-m of national inputs of participatory irrigation management specialists will be recruited separately by ADB through individual consultant selection. The firm will be recruited using quality- and cost-based selection procedures with a quality-cost ratio of 90:10 and simplified technical proposal according to ADB's Guidelines on the Use of Consultants (2013 as amended from time to time). Consultants should have tertiary level qualifications from a recognized institution and a minimum of 10 years' relevant experience in developing countries of Southeast Asia. Table A3.3 shows anticipated consultant requirements. |
