PPIAF Supports Performance-Based Road Maintenance Contracts in Vietnam
In 2011, the Government of Vietnam requested PPIAF assistance to review the current pilot PBC approach and develop a roadmap proposing key recommendations, in order to improve the imple- mentation of PBCs in Vietnam. The assistance consisted of: i) a diagnostic evaluation of the pilot PBCs to identify major challenges and obstacles, and ii) development of a road map for strength- ening the use of PBCs in Vietnam, based on international best practice of PBCs established in Brazil and lessons learned from the pilot PBC program in Vietnam.
In 2012, PPIAF supported the Government of Vietnam to improve the implementation of performance-based contracts (PBC) for road maintenance. This was done in order to enhance the maintenance delivery method and to increase private-sector engagement in this arena. PPIAF evaluated the state of pilot PBCs in Vietnam and proposed a road map for strengthening the use of such contracts based on international best practices.
