| Abstract | Recently, the demands for water supply projects in urban development are chiefly driven
by urbanization in Vietnam. Owing to the limited budget and inefficient experience in
providing water supply services related only to public sector, Vietnamese policymakers
must find new ways to resolve some established problems of public projects and services
to meet the population's need, especially in urban areas. In latest years, a few of legal and
strategic solutions have been proposed and take effect. Among them, the Decision
63/1998/QD-TTg on National Orientation on water supply development in urban areas by
2020 and Decision 71/201 O/QD-TTg on Pilot regulations on investment under PublicPrivate-Paitnerships (PPP) method have most remarkable influence which show PPP
would be one of the best options for improving the urban water supply systems.
With the increasing demand for investment into infrastructure in Vietnam, especially
investment into urban water supply system while the Government budget is limited, it is
very important to find out a proper capital resource for investment into this industry. One
of the solutions is call for private investment under PPP model.
Current urban water supply systems in Vietnam are mainly financed by the State budget
and managed by state-owned companies. Most of these systems are facing: (i)downgrading
facilities; (ii) low utilization of water supply aspect; (iii) lack of capital for upgrading and
expansion (iv) weak management and incompetent personnel; (v) low water price results in
insufficient revenue to cover operation and maintenance cost: (vi) low awareness of
The research of PPP model for water supply system in countries with the same
geographical, social, economic and cultural conditions such as China, Ghana will be a
good foundation for the establishment of a proper PPP model for Vietnam to ensure
efficiency, equity and sustainability.
Uong Bi, Quang Ninh could be considered the outstanding case for the above-motioned
opinion. Uong Bi will face a growing gap between water supply capacity and water
demand in recent years due to the development in trade, industry and services. The goal of
this disse1tation is to identify the important driving factors impacting the water supply
service in Uong Bi including Technical aspect, Social aspect, Financial/ Economic aspect,
Management aspect. Based on review of the existing literature and using the method of
participatory assessments, the researcher has made a lot of surveys and analyses about the
practice of water supply management (WSM) in Uong Bi. The findings can help to assess
the feasibility of applying PPP model to WSM in Uong Bi and make some
recommendations for the implementation of PPP model in Uong Bi. |
