On March 15, USAID and the Ministry of Planning and Investment’s (MPI) Academy of Policy and Development gathered national and provincial-level government officials from Vinh Phuc, Hue, Dong Thap, and Can Tho to introduce the new USAID Local Capacity Development (LCD) project.
MPI Vice Minister Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc opened the event, highlighting the Government of Vietnam’s expectation that LCD will improve accountability, responsiveness, and transparency at local levels. Provincial and national Government of Vietnam representatives and LCD project partners met to develop province-specific plans for approvals and implementation. Both are targeted for final approvals by the end of 2024.
