Fundamental changes are taking place in
the way the Government of Vietnam operates: the 2001
Constitution empowered the National Assembly to hold votes
of no-confidence in the leaders it elects, including
ministers. The State Budget Law, effective in January 2004,
further expanded those powers, by making the National
Assembly responsible for the approval of the budget,
including allocations to lower levels of government. In
parallel, there is a steady increase in the extent of
decentralization. And some successes can be reported in the
public administration reform agenda too, in particular, the
adoption of the One-Stop Shop (OSS) model at the national
level should improve the delivery of administrative services
to households and enterprises, and reduce the opportunities
for petty corruption. Notwithstanding, it should be
recognized that important challenges remain. The goal of
this report is to review the progress accomplished so far in
building modern governance, and to identify areas where more
needs to be done. To attain this goal, the report combines a
range of perspectives, and relies on a variety of analytical
tools. It carefully reviews patterns in government spending,
and revenue at aggregate levels, but also in specific
sectors and programs. It evaluates the decision-making
processes behind employment and pay policies, investment
projects, resettlement programs and budget allocations. It
more broadly assesses the justification for government
interventions in different aspects of the economy, and the
impact of such interventions on key development outcomes,
including poverty reduction. Vietnam's continued
commitment to inclusive development provides the vision
responsive to running an efficient government. Securing
rapid economic growth, sustaining continued poverty
reduction, and attaining the Vietnam Development Goals, are
part of such vision. With this vision in mind, the report
flags several areas of concern: planning versus budgeting,
and modernizing that planning; better service delivery;
redistributing to the poorest; setting budget allocation
norms; delegation to spending units; and, management of
state assets. |
