| Summary: | This book chronicles the development of
Vietnam's rural electrification program. It tells the
story of how the Vietnamese government conceived, developed,
scaled up, and improved its program. It also discusses the
role the government, the countries main utility, local
authorities, local communities, and the country's
international development partners played in the pursuit of
the electrification agenda. The book provides an overview of
the strategies that fueled the impressive expansion of
access to electricity in Vietnam, the development of the
institutions that implemented the program and the passage of
policies and laws that made growth of such scale possible.
It also discusses results from the ground, and particularly
the impacts of electrification on people's lives. It
concludes with an attempt to draw lessons from
Vietnam's experience. The book comprises three main
parts: part A, made up of eight sections, provides an
overview of Vietnam's rural electrification experience,
which can be divided into six distinct periods. Part B
summarizes a select set of findings from the multiyear
survey and discusses the impact of rural electrification on
Vietnamese households. Part C draws lessons from the
experience of rural electrification in Vietnam, based on the
information presented in parts A and B. It discusses the
lessons learned from the perspectives of the government and
the World Bank. |
