SERVICES PROVIDED BY STRATEGY & ECONOMICS

Assisting the Government of Vietnam to analyze the reasons why “socialization” policies targeted at fostering partnerships between the public and private in undertaking investment in the RWSS sector have not been as effective as intended and to use this analysis in making recommendations for possible revision of the relevant decree as well as supporting regulations and policies. The assignment also identified areas where central government can provide more leadership and guidance in the form of very detailed and practical supporting socialization implementation manuals and “toolkits” for developing a more fertile environment within which private sector partners can participate in providing rural water supply and sanitation services to their populations.
