Australia grants 5 million AUD for Vietnam’s development agenda

The Australian Government has approved a grant of 5 million AUD to help Vietnam enhance competitiveness, reduce carbon footprint, and improve lives and livelihoods, according to the World Bank.

The grant represents additional funding to the ongoing Australia – Bank Partnership in Vietnam (ABP), which focuses on a wide range of policy areas designed to support the country’s development agenda.

“The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a significant impact on Vietnam’s reform agenda and exacerbate inequalities, which are more pronounced and harder to close for ethnic minorities, for women and for other marginalised groups. Responding to this, Australia’s extended collaboration with the World Bank will continue to support Vietnam’s quick economic recovery and help achieve its development goals,” Australian Ambassador to Vietnam Robyn Mudie said.

The ABP will continue its work on gender equality and the sustainable development of the Mekong Delta. In addition, it will also help address new priorities set out in the country’s recently adopted socio-economic development strategy for 2021-2030 and plan for 2021-2025, including the transition to a low carbon economy, social equity and inclusion, and innovation-driven growth.

“The ABP will continue providing high-quality advisory work, enabling Vietnamese policymakers to pursue substantive reforms,” said Carolyn Turk, World Bank Country Director for Vietnam. “These reforms are needed both for recovery from the economic costs of COVID-19, but also to set a solid basis for the pathway to higher income status.”

The ABP was established in 2017 with an initial funding amount of 25 million AUD. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it responded quickly and provided an additional 5 million AUD to support Vietnam to respond to, and recover from, the pandemic.

The programme leverages expertise from Australia and the World Bank Group to support the Vietnamese Government in strengthening its development policies and programmes./.
