Deal inked on evaluation of JICA-funded projects

Representatives from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MoPI), the Ministry of Transport and the Hanoi People’s Committee have signed a joint programme on project appraisal for 2009.

The signing took place at a seminar in Hanoi on May 27 which aimed at improving local staff’s capacity of assessing development projects.

The seminar rated three projects at A in JICA’s assessment system which included a project to develop a radio system of Vietnam’s southern coastal region to help search and rescue work as well as marine transport and offshore fishing.

The other projects involved the construction of the Phu My-Nha Be 500kv transmission line and the Ham Thuan-Da Mi hydroelectric which are said to not only increase the power supply source but also provide local people with stable water supply and basic infrastructure.
