WB highlights comprehensive Vietnamese policy framework in land management
VOV.VN - The nation has developed a relatively comprehensive legal and policy framework regarding land governance, according to Kate Rickersey, a representative from the World Bank (WB) in Vietnam.
The official made the remark during the course of an online workshop which was recently co-hosted by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the Party Central Committee’s Economic Commission, and the WB in Vietnam.
As part of ongoing recent rapid urbanisation, the country has created remarkable changes in the pattern of land use and growth. However, the nation still needs to define a land governance vision for the 2021 to 2045 period towards digitalising land management services whilst ensuring rights for all land users, she noted.
According to details provided by Cao Duc Phat, standing vice chairman of the Party Central Committee’s Economic Commission, the workshop largely focused on reviewing achievements and pointing out various shortcomings. This is in addition to proposing new development directions aimed at refining mechanisms, policies, and laws, with a view of removing obstacles to State management on land, as a contribution to the nation’s socio-political stability.
Delegates and experts also said that in order to modernise its land management mechanism, the country should make structural changes to enhance its land management capacity in the direction of raising efficiency and transparency.
