The Beyond WTO program aims to strengthen the Government of Vietnam’s capacity to manage the integration of Vietnam into the global economy and its transition to a socialist market economy. In doing this it will contribute directly and indirectly to helping Vietnam to sustain pro-poor growth and protect poverty reduction gains and thus meet the targets set out in the SEDP (2006-2010) and in the Vietnam Development Goals (VDGs). It supports implementation of the Government’s Action Plan (GAP) for integration and sustainable development, and the Resolution of the 4th Congress of the Central Committee of the CPV (10th term).
The first preparatory phase of the program, which was launched in January 2007 shortly after Vietnam formally acceded to the WTO, was designed to help the Government to develop the GAP and institutional arrangements for coordinating integration and related reforms, and to test a nationally managed multi-donor trust fund (MDTF) to provide pooled donor support for implementation of the plan.
The second phase of the program, which has been jointly agreed by GOV and the core donors (AusAID, DfID and the World Bank), will provide technical assistance and other support for implementation of priority policy actions from the GAP.
This phase of the Program has five components.
§ Strengthening the institutions of the market economy, addressing issues identified by the Government as priorities for extricating Vietnam from the Non-Market Economy Status conferred by some current members of the WTO, including price controls, interest rate policy, subsidies to state owned enterprises, state enterprise reform, land policy and management, implications of socialization of public services and competition policy.
§ Addressing social and economic consequences of integration for the rural sector, dealing with challenges created by uneven spatial development and impacts of change on the rural poor — initially supporting programs of policy analysis linked to integration and agricultural and rural industrialisation and modernisation, including assessment of policy responses to the social and economic changes associated with land policy reforms developed under the first component.
§ Supporting capacity for management and coordination of integration, targeting the institutional arrangements that the Government puts in place to oversee and coordinate implementation of the GAP, and supporting, among other things, monitoring and evaluation of GAP implementation, further adaptation of the GAP, assessment of cross-cutting issues and issues falling outside of the mandate of individual ministries, and addressing priority capacity development needs.
§ Supporting implementation of provincial action plan activities, helping a subset of provinces selected on the basis of the quality of their action plans the significance of the integration related challenges they face and constraints on the resources they can access to address these challenges to implement selected activities identified in plans and to incorporate integration issues into their socio-economic planning processes.
§ Management of the MDTF, providing a range of support for the institutional arrangements for Fund management, including which could contracting of technical functions (such as financial control, project design and M&E) and higher level support for coordination and appraisal functions. This component will also include a contingency for response on an ad-hoc basis to priority requirements for new activities agreed with donors.
The support provided under these components will be developed in a process of preparing annual work programs of activities to be funded by the MDTF. These programs will be jointly agreed by the Steering Committee for the Program and donors. The Steering Committee, chaired by a Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, has membership from all Ministries and some related agencies.
