Lessons learnt in Vietnam • High level of demand • Institutional, capacity & ownership issues remain critical • Infrastructure allows introduction of technology and services but is not an end in itself • Rural transport moving from build to maintain • Still requires short term increase in sector allocations to reach CPRGS targets and reach the most inaccessible • The most disadvantaged areas are paying most

  5. Initial findings from Network study • Big disparities in “access” depending on region - closely correlated with depth of poverty • There remains a difficulty in whether to prioritize “the most poor or the most poor” • Connection to higher level roads are important for certain groups in rural areas • Important as the sub-sector provides pre-conditions for rural growth
