| Summary: | The Government of Vietnam (GoV) has
conducted a Climate Public Expenditure and Investment Review
(CPEIR) with the support of the World Bank and the United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The review examined
Vietnam’s policies and climate change expenditure for the
period 2010–2013 from five ministries (MONRE, MOIT, MARD,
MOC, and MOT) and three provinces (Bac Ninh, Quang Nam and
An Giang). To assess the public expenditure and improve
alignment with policy goals and targets, a Typology of
Climate Change Response Expenditures (TCCRE) was developed.
This typology was used to classify the government’s spending
on its climate change response into three pillars: (i)
Policy and Governance (PG), (ii) Scientific, Technological
and Societal Capacity (ST), and (iii) Climate Change
Delivery (CCD). The typology also examined how expenditure
within each pillar and in each sector is relevant to
Vietnam’s climate change response (CC-response). Since
roughly 70 percent of the total investment spending is
allocated at the provincial level, the analysis does not
represent the totality of Vietnam’s CC-response, but still
offers substantive insight into spending, in particular
through a comprehensive focus on the five key line
ministries. Based on its findings, the CPEIR proposes
solutions for how to accelerate Vietnam’s CC-response
through the state budget and informs decision makers on
readiness for scaling up the CC-response while increasing
coherence across sectors’ and provinces’ policies. The CPEIR
report is released at an opportune time, allowing the
review’s recommendations to inform the formulation and
implementation of the SEDP 2016–2020, and enabling/
promoting the GoV’s post-2015 climate change and green
growth response program. |
