| Abstract | Managing the project effectively within the time frame and resources allocated is the
challenging job for all the project managers. With ODA projects, this becomes more critical
since ODA is a financing source from Government to Government that requires the recipient
Government, its Executing Agencies and Project Management Units accountable for the
effective utilization of ODA funds.
To successfully implement the investment program specified in the Master Plan for Power
Development No. 6 aiming at meeting the power demand for social and economic
development of the country, the Vietnam Electricity, a state-owned corporation, needs to use
effectively ODA financing sources. Our research was motivated by the urgent need of EVN
looking into factors that cause ODA projects to have low effectiveness and coming up with
solutions and recommendations for a more effective implementation of ODA projects
financed by WB and AFD.
An important indicator of ODA low effectiveness is the low disbursement rate which is
caused by the project delays and unused funds. By reviewing ODA project documents and
reports available at EVN, interviewing ODA project managers and using Logical Framework
Approach and Cause/ Effect analysis, the research provides a comprehensive assessment on
the ODA project implementation and identifies ODA problems and measures those problems
in a quantified way.
Improvement of the ODA project implementation and management can only be achieved
by improving legal framework, solving problems during implementation at EVN and PMU
levels and providing capacity building via training. Recommendations are therefore made for
three levels, i.e. Government, Vietnam Electricity and its International Relation Department
as a focal point of ODA management of EVN. |
