| Summary: | In 1996, the Primer Minister of Vietnam
directed the Ministry of Industry (MOI) to establish a
program and plan to draft the Electricity Law for Vietnam.
After six years of work and consultation the Law is still in
its fourteenth draft. The MOI, in consultation with the
World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), decided it
was time to analyze why the progress was so slow and what
could be done to overcome this problem. Chapter 1 of the
report reviews how the parties agreed that the situation
could best be analyzed in a open round-table discussion
where participants would be able to express their opinions
freely and work towards identifying solutions. It was
therefore decided to conduct a facilitated participatory
discussion that would revitalize the law-drafting process.
Chapter 2 reviews the outcomes of the round-table discussion
held on September 26 and 27, 2000. Chapter 3 consists of a
power policy guidance document prepared by the World Bank
advisory team; and Chapter 4 details a legislative review of
the fourteenth draft of the Electricity Law and addresses
specific issues that should be considered in the next phase
of the drafting process. |
