Ho Chi Minh City Development Policy Operation 1

closed

The development objective of First Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) Development Policy Operation for Vietnam, is structured around three main pillars as follows: (i) Integrated and transparent spatial information for urban management; (ii) Strengthened management of public assets and liabilities; and (iii) Enhanced delivery of priority municipal services. The prior actions under these three pillars reinforce institutional reforms anchored in six out of seven breakthrough programs of HCMC (except the human resources development one) and cross-cutting reforms, laying the foundations for more effective urban governance and service delivery. Strong linkages and synergies between the policy actions are expected to enhance program impacts. Recognizing that institutional fragmentation is a fundamental obstacle to the issuance of good policies and their effective implementation in HCMC, the DPO proposes to address the fragmentation in a number of areas.
