The remarks were made on Feb. 8 by Haruhiko Kuroda, President of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and James Adams, Vice President of the World Bank for the Asian-Pacific Region, at a press conference closing the third Roundtable on Managing for Development Results in Ha Noi.
James Adams praised Viet Nam's socio-economic development plan for 2006-2010, saying it is as an important factor for the country to develop results-based management.
The ADB and WB leaders said enhancing the management capacity, speeding up the implementation of projects and maintaining administrative reform will help Viet Nam effectively use ODA in the future.
Kuroda also expressed his belief that with committed administrative reform in coming years, Viet Nam would make greater progresses.
After four-day working, Government officials and development experts from more that 40 developing countries, and from donor agencies, private companies and NGOs concluded the Third Roundtable on Managing for Development Results with a call for stronger action to improve the number and quality of development results achieved with countries' own public funds and with international aid.
They agreed on the need to invest more in systems and capacity for managing for results in developing countries, including in such areas as national statistical system, and sector-wide monitoring and evaluation.
In his closing speech, Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Cao Viet Sinh said that Viet Nam will accelerate the implementation of a national action plan for results-based management, combining the plan with the implementation of the Paris Declaration and the Ha Noi Commitment on Aid Effectiveness.
