Empowering Poor Communities through Decentralized Decision Making : The Vietnam Community Based Rural Infrastructure Project
Vietnam made remarkable progress in
poverty reduction in the 1990s. Poverty rates decreased from
58% to 37% between 1993 and 1998. The reduction in poverty
rates among indigenous people (who constitute 13% of the
population and mostly live in remote areas) has been less
remarkable. During the same period, the poverty incidence
has gone down from 84% to 75%, leaving their poverty rates
more than twice as high as that of the majority group, i.e.
the Kinh group. In response, the Government has initiated
several targeted poverty reduction programs to reduce
poverty. One of these is "Program 135" to support
mountainous and remote communes. Communes, which are
clusters of villages, are the lowest level of government or
local administration in Vietnam. Program 135 was established
in 1998 to provide resources to more than 1,700 of the
poorest communes for small infrastructure improvements and
capacity building of local governments. The Community Based
Rural Infrastructure Project (CBRIP) builds on the
Government's initiative, but offers a somewhat
different approach to infrastructure development - one that
is more demand driven and promotes a greater role in
decision making by beneficiaries.
