Review of Community Driven Development in Vietnam

The purpose of the review was to analyze the experiences of 20 years of decentralization processes in Vietnam. The World Bank and a number of donors, including Sida, have been active in supporting Vietnam to develop institutional forms of how local authorities can take a larger independent responsibility for development budgets and implementation of development investments. The fieldwork for the study and the writing of the report was done in cooperation with Mandala Consulting, a small consultancy company in Hanoi, Vietnam.
