The activity was completed in February 2012. It
is too early to report on many of the outcomes
but PPIAF will continue to monitor results to
capture the actual outcomes and impacts of this
activity.
Technical capacity enhanced
� INCO staff with improved capacity in
planning, structuring, award,
implementation, management, and
regulation of road concession contracts
4. Vietnam: PPP Viability Study for the Ninh Bin–Than Hoa–Bai Vot Expressway ($500,000): this
activity was approved on June 23, 2011. It supports the government of Vietnam to evaluate PPP options
for the 220 kilometer Ninh Bin-Than Hoa-Bai Vot (NBBV) expressway section, which forms part of the
Eastern North-South expressway linking Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Can Tho in the Mekong delta, a
total length of 1,811 kilometers. This North-South expressway is the backbone of a planned national
network and will serve the densely populated coastal area of Vietnam. NBBV is the next priority section,
and the PPIAF activity will assess the viability of PPP arrangements, identify the best PPP model, and
establish a standard practice guideline for leveraging private sector resources in expressway
development. Implementation of the activity is underway, and the consultant (Halcrow) is engaged, albeit
with some delays in this process. The current completion date of November 2012 will most likely need to
be revised once the consultant is able to confirm the work schedule.
5. Vietnam: Capacity Building to Review Waste-to-Energy Project Proposals in Ho Chi Minh City
($75,000): this activity was approved on June 30, 2011. The activity supports the Department of Natural
Resources and Environment of the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) to evaluate the
waste-to-energy project proposals it is considering. This activity will build the Department's capacity to
assess proposed technologies, expected project costs, land use requirements, and the financial capacity
of investors. The project finally selected will provide a cleaner option to the growing problem of solid
waste management. The project will also generate 30 MW of energy to supplement the HCMC grid, which
cannot currently meet growing demand from households and industries. Implementation of the activity is
underway. No issues have been noted so far, and the activity is expected to be completed by June 2012.
6. Vietnam: Strengthening of the Use of Performance-Based Contracts for Road Maintenance
($40,000): this activity was approved on October 17, 2011. It supports the government of Vietnam to
analyze the current approach to performance-based contracts for road maintenance and to develop a
plan to strengthen these contracts, including the application of relevant best practice from other countries
