The World Bank, working closely with MARD, published in 2011 a SEA of the forestry sector entitled: "Using Strategic Environmental Assessment to Inform the Forestry Master Plan 2010-2020 of Vietnam". The work was funded by the Bank Netherlands Partnership Program. Completion of the SEA was a policy action under the Bank's Public Investment Reform (PIR) Development Policy Loan. Both the English and Vietnamese versions can be downloaded from the World Bank's forestry web site (direct link at http://go.worldbank.org/WT89HUIEO0).
The report is a very good synthesis of issues facing the forestry sector in Vietnam, from an environmental perspective, and has an excellent set of recommendations for the sector.
