The Vietnam Land Administration Project (VLAP), built by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, totally costs US$100 million with US$75 million financed by the WB and the remainder sourced from the Vietnamese government.

The project has been carried out in Hanoi, the northern provinces of Hung Yen and Thai Binh, the central provinces of Quang Ngai, Binh Dinh and Khanh Hoa, and the Mekong Delta provinces of Tien Giang, Ben Tre and Vinh Long since 2008.

The project, aimed at developing a perfect land management system in the targeted cities and provinces and helping people utilise land information services, including instructions on land use right certificates, will last until 2013.

Currently, 35 cities and provinces have approved the VLAP project.
