ODA prioritised for strategic construction projects

The Ministry of Construction has given high priority in the disbursement of foreign official development assistance (ODA) grants to strategic projects such as State management and administrative reforms.

Minister Nguyen Hong Quan said that high priority is also to be placed on strengthening the relevant legal system, urban planning and development, developing liquid and solid waste treatment facilities, environmental hygiene, water supply and drainage, housing management and real estate development, housing for low income earners and the research and transfer of advanced technology and major projects with long-term returns.

The above were clarified in a regulation issued recently by the ministry addressing the management and use of foreign ODA including grants and soft loans by international donors.
