(CPV) - The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Ministry of Construction (MoC) on June 16th co-organized a training workshop in Hanoi on management of construction projects.
It is part of the technical cooperation project for “Capacity enhancement in cost estimation, contract management, quality and safety in construction investment projects in Vietnam (CCQSP)”. CCQSP has been then prepared and implemented since April 2015, and planned to last till March 2018.
The JICA-funded project aims at enhancing capacity of staff and related organizations under MoC which directly involve in construction projects, with an ultimate goal that construction projects in Vietnam are managed according to international standards and regulations for management of public construction projects.

After more than two years of implementation, the workshop focused on two main outputs including contractor capacity evaluation and contract management, thus helping to improve the monitoring of public investment and thus improve its effectiveness as a result.
The same workshops are projected to be held in Ho Chi Minh city (June 22nd) and Can Tho city (June 23rd), to share project’s outputs and focal points relating to Vietnam’s law and regulations on construction at the presence of representatives from concerned authorities in both central and provincial levels, project management units, contractors and consultants as well.
Vietnam has maintained sustainable economic growth in recent years and implemented a large number of major infrastructure development projects. However, due to insufficient project management and inadequate quality and safety management in construction works, many construction accidents have been recorded.
In addition, construction contracts have been insufficiently managed leading to numerous disputes, which therefore have obstructed a smooth implementation of the construction projects./.
