Environmental Issues in Investment Planning, Viet Nam

United Nations Development Programme

This project sought to improve the capability of Viet Nam's Ministry of Planning and Investment to ensure that the nature of economic reforms being undertaken in Viet Nam would lead to environmentally sustainable national and economic development planning. Project implementation featured three provincial pilot projects whose objective was to test a variety of planning models and determine their relevance for, and applicability to, planning efforts elsewhere in the country.

ESSA was engaged to:

develop and implement project training guidelines;
develop a modular course in Sustainable Development Planning; and
develop a monitoring and evaluation system for all training activities.

Additionally, ESSA's project team was responsible for the overall planning, guidance, management, monitoring and reporting of communication activities relating to the pilot projects. This component of the project included developing and implementing a provincial-level communications strategy that linked staff and consultants working on individual pilot projects with each other and with central-level staff, and developing and maintaining project communication materials such as planning "storybooks," web page articles, and newsletter articles.

ESSA also provided guidance and input regarding environmental issues relating to each provincial pilot project, and workshop facilitation expertise.
