① Performance-based plan monitoring
It is necessary to conduct monitoring focused on the progress and effectiveness of private development projects and investment in infrastructure included in the CNMP. For example, it is necessary to closely review whether the Ministry of Environment (facility investment) and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport (use conversion support, entry road construction, etc.) have contributed to local jobs and income. As for infrastructure investment, the plan on facility operation and related investment in consideration of spatial planning, aside from the physical completion of the infrastructure, should be deliberated.

② Advance consulting on the national territorial plan (national territorial plan evaluation system)
The national territorial plan evaluation system was first introduced through the revision of the Framework Act on the National Land Article 19(2) in May of 2011 and went into effect in earnest in May of 2012. The system is an institutional framework designed to address the problems such as a lack of system to induce the basic principles of territorial management in the establishment process and development-oriented planning, and also to improve the coherence of comprehensive national, provincial, city and county-level plans and other regional and sectoral plans.
The national territorial plan evaluation system ensures that the basic principles for territorial management in Korea — effectiveness, fairness, eco-friendliness — are reflected in the territorial plans, and that each planning body of higher-level or related plans review its own plan (draft) for coherence and submit the evaluation request to the Minister of Land, Transport and Infrastructure, who is in charge of the establishment of the CNTP for consultation.
Not all plans but mid-to long-term plans with the project period of 5 or more years with the project area of the entire or a part of national land are subject to the system.
The subjects of evaluation can be categorized into different types of plan, such as regional plans, infrastructure plans, and sectoral plans.

At the discussion, Korean researchers presented on the current territorial status of Vietnam, Korea’s experience by sector, and preparations being done for the upcoming online training. After the presentation, the shared contents were reviewed by the advisory committee members and necessary improvements were suggested. After the discussion, the research team talked about how to reflect what has been discussed more effectively on the report.

2. Policy Practioner Training A. Current direction
10 policymakers and working-level officials were invited to the Policy Practitioner Training for knowledge sharing. Visits to relevant institutions and sites were arranged, with a contingency plan to replace the training with online lectures should the situation with COVID-19 continued.
COVID-19
Direct foreign exchange is difficult due to the global pandemic of COVID-19.
Korea currently bans all foreigners (Vietnam) entry to Korea from March 22 (as of October 20, Ministry of Foreign Affairs)
* Entry is possible with an exception, but there are cumbersome procedures and restrictions, such as PCR testing prior to quarantine registration with health authorities, and burden of treatment costs on the inviting institution
It is unclear whether COVID-19 will enter a global lull.
Countermeasures
The guidelines for overseas business execution and the quarantine policy of the Ministry of Health and Welfare should be complied with thoroughly, and sufficient prior consultation with Vietnamese government ministries should be carried out.
If face-to-face cooperation is not possible, non-face-to-face cooperation plans such as webinars and video training are advised to be prepared in advance.
If overseas business trips are difficult, networks with Vietnam-related organizations and domestic cooperation systems (KOICA, KOTRA, etc.) need to be actively utilized.
B. Project progress
With the COVID-19 pandemic showing no signs of slowing down globally, the Policy Practitioner Training was decided to proceed online. The online training program was organized as shown in the table. Upon completion of the production, the video recordings of lectures were shared to the participants in Vietnam through an online platform in mid-June, 2021. Video recordings and presentation materials on a total of 5 general lectures and 7 special lectures were shared for the training.
