I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1. The Urban Context. A fast growing urban sector is driving Viet Nam’s economic

growth. The country’s sustained economic expansion in the last decades has been accompanied by a significant decline in the share of agriculture and a steady increase in the share of urban economic activities. The industry and service sectors comprising the urban economy now account for nearly 80% of total gross domestic product. The urban population has grown at the rate of 3.4% annually for the period 1999‒2009, reaching some 31.7% of the total population in 2011, with a forecast of 34.5% by 2015. However, the growth of the urban population is concentrated in the primary conurbations of Ho Chi Minh City, Ha Noi, and increasingly Da Nang, where there is an expanding professional middle class. These cities are becoming highly congested and exhibiting signs of growing social and environmental problems including perennial flooding and natural disasters caused by climate change. There has been a significant reduction in urban poverty, but there is also evidence to suggest that income inequality is increasing. This indicates that the poverty gap between the richest and poorest is worsening making it difficult for urban residents, particularly the poor and other vulnerable groups, to access basic services and socioeconomic as well as environmental protection through climate change resilient infrastructure.

2. Secondary Cities. The secondary cities are being developed to address economic

disparities that constrain urban development and social stability and more importantly, to deflect rural migration away from the larger cities. The provincial and urban socioeconomic plans and urban master plans of these cities have laid the policy foundation to achieve these objectives. However, trends show that growth of new business activities in many secondary cities is slowing down apart from some notable exceptions, while investments in new housing construction are also lagging. If the trends persist, the social and economic disparities between the secondary cities and the larger cities will continue to widen. An unwanted consequence of this is the pull and push factor that drives rural migrants into the larger cities. This defeats national policies and directives that encourage broad-based growth and balanced regional development throughout the country.

3. Urban Development Issues. Growth in the secondary cities is hampered by weak and

inadequate infrastructure which constrains: (i) economic growth and the potential for new urban development and employment opportunities and (ii) social and environmental protection in key sectors, including flood protection and disaster management. In this context, there is an urgent need for greater investment in climate resilience planning, and better and more sustainable urban infrastructure. Investment in secondary cities is often typified by deficient strategic and local transport infrastructure, obsolete water supply systems, high water losses, poor drainage, poor flood protection, and unsustainable liquid and solid waste collection systems. Collectively, these act as a deterrent to domestic and foreign investments which are vital to stimulating socioeconomic growth and development. With Viet Nam’s long coastline of more than 3,000 kilometers, at least 20 secondary cities are also at risk from climate change. These coastal and near-coastal low-lying cities are particularly vulnerable to sea level rise related hazards, including: (i) total submersion, (ii) flooding, (iii) soil erosion, and (iv) salinization of ground and surface water. Affected secondary cities can prepare for climate change induced natural disasters through more systematic investments in properly designed seawalls and dykes, water supply improvements, and drainage and sanitation.

4. The Project Cities. The selected project cities of Tam Ky (Quang Nam Province), Buon

Ma Thuot (Dak Lak Province), and Ha Tinh (Ha Tinh Province) have revised, or are revising their urban plans, and preparing for expansion to medium-sized cities. The economy of these

(6)

cities indicates significant medium and long-term potential for newly emerging industries and services. The Project aims to address urban issues, climate resilience and promote balanced regional development. At the same time, in Tam Ky and Ha Tinh, the project will prioritize the completion and upgrading of flood protection and drainage works commenced but not completed under the previously funded ADB Central Region Urban Environmental Improvement Project and ensure that the needs for climate resilience are met. Targeted infrastructure investments, in line with government policy, have been selected to assist this process.

5. Tam Ky belongs to the chain of coastal cities linking northern, central, and southern Viet Nam. It sits alongside both the strategic NH1 road corridor and the Ha Noi-Ho Chi Minh rail corridor. It has its own domestic air terminal at Chu Lai. Improving strategic infrastructure planning, through the National Coastal Road under construction and the planned North-South Expressway will significantly shorten travel time to Da Nang and other regional and provincial cities and improve the attraction of the Chu Lai Special Economic Zone for investment. It will also potentially attract investment in the tourism sector and promote connectivity to the Da Nang/Hoi An coastal tourism corridor. As such, Tam Ky as a provincial capital has good potential for economic growth and urban development and is poised to reach its target of achieve Class II status in the medium term.

6. However, Tam Ky suffers from typhoons and heavy rains, which often cause severe floods, damaging homes, business and infrastructure facilities and the environment. A prerequisite therefore to the city’s sustained development will be to ensure its competitiveness as a regional economic growth center through climate resilient basic services and infrastructure. The city will benefit from addressing climate change issues by providing sustainable flood protection through dyke upgrading and improved disaster management by construction and upgrading of strategic urban road for evacuation.

7. Buon Ma Thuot is the capital of Dak Lak Province in the Central Highlands Region of Viet Nam. It is already a Class I city and has good potential for sustainable economic growth and development emphasizing its role as a regional administrative and education center and the commercial hub for the coffee sector and other business agriculture. It is also the transport and economic hub in the region, with regional links to Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and into Lao PDR/Cambodia. To maximize economic growth and social development will require continued investments in large scale strategic infrastructure, including better regional road links and strategic by-pass routes for the city. It will also require priority investment in urban road infrastructure, which will directly benefit the economic development and expansion of the city and relieve increasing levels of traffic congestion. At the same time, economic growth and social development will respond well to the Buon Ma Thuot’s “green city” credentials, through more sustainable environmental practice. Better solid waste treatment using 3R principles and sustainable landfill operations will reflect this theme.

8. Ha Tinh is also one of a chain of coastal corridor cities linking north-central-south Viet Nam. The city is strategically important in supporting links to the Viet Nam-Lao PDR-Cambodia triangle. The province includes a number of strategic growth poles, including the Vung Anh Economic Zone, the Son Duong Deep Water Port and the Cao Treo Economic Zone. To this extent Ha Tinh, as the administrative capital and agricultural business hub of the province has the potential to move from its class III city status to class II at least in the medium term. In a similar way to Tam Ky the city suffers from typhoons and heavy rains, which often cause severe floods—damaging homes, business, infrastructure facilities, and the general environment of the city. Therefore, base conditions for better economic growth will focus on ensuring Ha Tinh becomes a more attractive place to invest in comparison with its competitors; and developing

(7)

3

socioeconomic infrastructure in accordance with the master plan. This will benefit from investments: (i) to address climate change issues by providing more sustainable flood protection and drainage facilities by upgrading and rehabilitating regulating basins along with environment improvements, landscaping and recreation facilities; and (ii) by upgrading road linksfor access to drainage channels.

9. Support Related Policies and Strategies. The project is in conformity with the

government’s policy context, including: (i) the overarching policies contained in the Socio-Economic Development Strategy 2011‒2020 and the Socio-Socio-Economic Development Plan 2011‒ 2015, and (ii) the sector policies contained in the relevant orientation plans and other recent policy advice and guidelines on climate change. In particular the Orientation Master Plan for Urban Development 2020, confirms government intention to develop model cities and divert rural migration away from the large cities through the development of the secondary cities and strengthening urban-rural linkages. The project enhances the policies and sector priorities contained in the ADB Country Partnership Strategy (2012‒2015),1_{which promotes} comprehensive socioeconomic development in urban areas, fostering balanced growth and social stability. Other ADB priorities in terms of climate change considerations, social inclusion, and stakeholder participation are identified by ADB Viet Nam urban sector assessment, strategy and road map.2

10. Lessons Learned. Based on the experience gained from completed ADB-financed

urban sector development projects,3 the relevant lessons adopted for the Project include: (i) alignment of the project preparation and implementation schedule with the government’s approval procedures, (ii) selecting qualified project management consultants familiar with local rules and regulations, (iii) minimizing the number of procurement packages for effective contract management and ensuring competitiveness among qualified contractors, (iv) allocating sufficient amount of funds to contingencies due to high price escalation and possible design changes, (v) selecting a lead coordinating implementing agency with adequate capacity in the PMU, and (vi) advance action for land acquisition and resettlement to facilitate project implementation to optimize time taken for consultation and agreement with affected households. The project design responds to these lessons with a schedule that has sufficient preparation time, a limited number of procurement packages, and adequate project management support and commitment from the three cities.

11. Impact and Outcome. The expected impact of the project is improved urban

environment and climate resilient infrastructure in Buon Ma Thuot in the central highland region and in the coastal cities of Ha Tinh and Tam Ky. The expected outcome of the project is increased coverage of resilient urban infrastructure and climate change adaptation in the participating cities.

12. Outputs. The project will deliver the following outputs in the three selected secondary cities.

Output 1: New and improved urban infrastructure and climate change adaptation, including

 Strengthened flood management and drainage in Tam Ky and Ha Tinh. The project

will provide social and economic protection through better flood protection for residents and businesses in the existing built-up area of Tam Ky and Ha Tinh. In Tam Ky this will include completion of previously uncompleted flood dykes and improving existing dykes to meet government’s climate resilience standards. In Ha Tinh this includes the completion and extension of previously uncompleted drainage works, construction of a new storm water regulating basin and new recreation provision for the new regulating basin and for Bon Son lake an existing regulating basin.

 Improved solid waste management in Buon Ma Thuot. The project will result in better

levels of sustainability and greater cost-effectiveness in solid waste management, through a new engineered landfill and recycling facility, restoration of the existing dumpsite and an information, education and communication (IEC) campaign in pilot project areas within the city.

 Strategic roads and related urban environment improvements in all three cities.

The project will provide priority urban road infrastructure in all three cities, opening up opportunities for new development, providing strategic internal road links that promote connectivity, links to the external strategic highway network and neighboring countries and specifically helping to relieve anticipated traffic congestion in Buon Ma Thuot as the city continues to grow.

Output 2: Increased community awareness for sustainable environmental management

through IEC. The project will focus on increased community awareness for sustainable

environment management. Gender-sensitive IEC materials on solid waste management and disaster risk reduction and management will be developed. The project will raise community awareness and train residents of Buon Ma Thout especially in the area of waste segregation, the 3R4 approach of solid waste management (SWM) and household composting through a training program. The IEC on waste segregation will be rolled out to the entire city of Buon Ma Thout based on pilot experiences.

Output 3: Improved competencies in integrated urban development, environmental

planning, climate change adaptation, and project management. Knowledge and skills of

professional staff in the implementation units will be strengthened in the competency areas integrated urban development, environment planning and climate change adaptation.

III. PROJECT MANAGEMENT ARRANGEMENTS

13. The provincial people’s committees (PPCs) of Dak Lak, Ha Tinh, and Quang Nam are the executing agencies (EAs). The city people’s committees (CPCs) of Buon Ma Thuot and Ha Tinh, and the Projects Construction Investment Management Authority (PCI.QNa) of Tam Ky are the implementing agencies (IAs) or project owners.

14. Project management. The implementation arrangements follow the government’s

decentralization policy for ODA-funded projects and are based on previous ADB projects.5 The PMUs for Ha Tinh and Tam Ky (PCI.QNa) have experience in implementing previous ADB projects. The provincial people’s committee (PPC) of Quang Nam, Dak Lak, and Ha Tinh provinces will be the executing agencies. The Quang Nam PPC, as lead executing agency, will coordinate and liaise with national line agencies and ADB during project implementation. The lead executing agency will consult the Dak Lak and Ha Tinh PPCs for all decisions related to procurement of international consultants for project management and implementation support. The city people’s committees (CPCs) of Buon Ma Thuot, Ha Tinh, and Tam Ky, which is the Projects Construction Investment Management Authority Quang Nam (PCI.QNa), are the implementing agencies or project owners. The PMUs of Tam Ky (PCI.QNa), Ha Tinh, Buon Ma Thuot, and the Dak Lak Urban Environmental Company (DAKURENCO) are the project implementation units. Each PMU will include multidisciplinary skills and implement its subprojects.6 The PCI.QNa is nominated as the coordinating PMU in consensus with the other PMU directors, executing agencies, and the Ministry of Planning and Investment. It will liaise with the other PMUs to harmonize project implementation. The PMUs for Ha Tinh and Tam Ky (PCI.QNa) have experience implementing previous ADB projects (footnote 16). Each PPC will provide oversight and decisions on the appointment of national consultants for its PMU. This arrangement was effectively demonstrated during the project preparation phase with PCI.QNa as lead.

15. Project steering committees (PSCs) are already operating in each city and are headed by the PPC Vice Chairman, and include representatives of provincial and city government agencies. The PSCs will continue to coordinate the implementation of the project in each city and provide policy guidance. The PSCs will be chaired by the PPC Vice Chairman and will include representatives from the following organizations: (i) Department of Construction, (ii) Department of Planning and Investment (DPI), (iii) Department of Finance (DOF), (iv) Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DONRE), (v) Provincial and/or City Women’s Union (WU), (vi) Chairman or Vice Chairman of the concerned project City, and (vii) other agencies or entities that may be recommended by the PPC, for instance in Buon Ma Thuot, Dak Lak urban environmental company (DAKURENCO). The PSCs will continue to assist the PPCs by: (i) monitoring project implementation, (ii) making decisions related to project implementation within the power of the local authorities, (iii) approving project documents related to, for example, procurement plans, and bidding and contract documents, and (iv) coordinating the relevant agencies of the provinces and the project management unit (PMU) in the project implementation process. PMUs have been established within the existing institutional structures in each city and will manage the implementation of the project. There will be one PMU for each of the cities. To meet this requirement, the Buon Ma Thuot City PMU will take up

the lead role in the project and will liaise and coordinate closely on subproject implementation with DAKURENCO on the solid waste management and road subprojects it will implement. 16. The functions of the PMUs will include: (i) monitoring and coordinating all project activities in the participating cities; (ii) supervising the consultants responsible for design and preparation of tender documents, construction supervision, and other activities; (iii) preparing bid plans, work plans, and annual budget plans; (iv) managing the prequalification of contractors, bid evaluations, bid awarding and contract signing; (v) undertaking site compensation and clearance; (vi) supervising work plans and ensuring quality control of work carried out by contractors and consultants; (vii) supervising and monitoring project-related resettlement and environmental activities; and (viii) preparing periodic project progress and annual reports for submission to the PPCs.

17. The structure and resources of the PMUs will reflect the needs of the subprojects in each city and will be built around the existing professional and administrative and technical support staff. Their staff will be supplemented wherever required. To this extent, the PMUs will include and/or be able to draw on the following disciplines: (i) municipal engineers – drainage and flood protection; (ii) civil engineers – roads/highways and structures; (iii) solid waste management specialist (Buon Ma Thuot); (iv) environment professional(s); (v) resettlement specialist; (vi) social development/gender professional(s); (vii) urban planner/landscape architect; and (viii) procurement/ contracts/construction professional(s). There will also be a need for a range of other administrative and technical support staff, including: financial management, accounting, administration, and translation and bid evaluation staff. Quality control will be critical, such that the required key professionals nominated by each of the PMUs and curriculum vitae (CV) will be submitted to ADB for approval prior to their appointment to the PMUs. When a CV is not acceptable to ADB, then the PMU will be requested to submit additional CVs for evaluation until a qualified candidate deemed suitable is agreed between ADB and the PMU concerned.

18. Quang Nam PPC has been selected to act as lead/coordinator between the project cities and the concerned central government agencies for project implementation. For an efficient and cost effective coordination among the PMUs, a small project coordination unit will be established to be responsible for the following: (i) monitoring overall project implementation progress and (ii) making decisions on issues such as the scope of investment, project policies, and procedures. The project coordination unit will be staffed by dedicated members of the lead PMU and if necessary, additional staff will be appointed. To distribute the coordination workload and encourage good working relationships, the PMUs may choose to share some identified common responsibilities.

19. Where it is necessary for the PPCs/PMUs from all three cities to discuss issues of common interest and to resolve problems, informal joint meetings will held through a project coordination committee (see section C for the project organization structure).
