Overview
• Why transport? – Key issue for foreign investors: Poor Quality and Lack of Capacity of
Transport Infrastructure– Poverty Reduction: Improvements to rural infrastructure have directly
reduced poverty– Economic Growth: High levels of public investments required to
support rapid growth • The Program.
– Program is about $1 billion of projects under implementation and $ 1 billion of projects under preparation
– The program is growing and Vietnam is the only country in EAP where Bank budgets are increasing
– Vietnam is moving from IDA to IBRD status as a result the WB is increasing its support to large scale infrastructure projects

Changing Program Objectives
• Reconnection– In the ’90s projects supported the need to reinstate the
main transport links, particularly national roads. This work is largely completed.
• Integration– The focus of projects started to move beyond
‘emergency works’ towards building sustainable transport networks. This work is still ongoing.
• Expansion– With over 10 years of high growth, the capacity of the
transport network is inadequate.

Projects under implementation
• Issues:– WB program suffers from slow disbursement progress.– Disbursements are low for up to 2 years on approval.
There is a need for the identification of funding, and the timely preparation of projects.
– Provincial projects are increasingly decentralized which increases the complexity and capacity building is key
– According to WB guidelines we cannot use dependent SOE consultants and contractors. Therefore we need to work closely with the emerging private sector and capacity building is key.
– Most projects require substantial resettlement activity which is expensive and time consuming

Projects under preparation
• Road Network Improvement Project (Additional Financing) (FY11) – US$ 230m
• Da Nang-Quang Ngai Expressway (FY11) – IBRD US$500m/IDA US$70m: First transport IDA/IBRD blended operation.
• Haiphong Urban Transport (FY11) - US$150-175 m
• Third Rural Transport AF (FY11) – US$50m
• Project Preparation Facility (FY10) – US$75m

Projects under preparation
• Issues:– WB used to prepare projects using PHRD grant but
this is no longer available– All preparation work is government executed typically
using government and/or grant finance– Limitations of existing institutional and capacity terms
of identifying, planning, and implementing projects.– Institutional arrangements to bring together planning,
implementation, and operation of assets needs to be improved
– Need to widen sources of funding, possibilities for PPP type arrangements in transport projects
