Traditionally both national and regional
development planning in Vietnam has been driven by
'top-down' Central Government social and economic
targets based on limited analytical investigation. However,
with the advent of the free market economy in Vietnam since
the late 1980s, vigorous global economic competitiveness and
Vietnam's membership to the World Trade Organization
(WTO), changes in national policy in Vietnam have now
required a more decentralized approach to development
planning based on the preparation of integrated regional
development strategies. This change in policy direction
requires the application of new and innovative approaches to
development planning underpinned by 'best
practice' tools and techniques. This new way of
planning will more effectively manage current and future
investment opportunities at the provincial and regional
levels in Vietnam. This report is the culmination of the
findings and recommendations of the project over this three
month period noting that the training program itself
involved a total of 45 participants from relevant provincial
government and district level authorities in Quang Nam
Province (QNP). Appendix two is a list of participants. It
is emphasized that the method of training adopted in this
technical assistance project was very interactive, it
required individual and group tasks to be completed by
participants based on the organization of participants into
five teams, nomination of a team leader for each team and
regular presentations of team activities to the whole group
throughout the training program. The program ran for a total
of seven days (7-9 October 2008 and 4-6 November 2008) with
a 'report back' workshop session of all
participants and other provincial government officials on 7
November 2008.
