3. Executive summary 3.1. Progress of planned Project activities After the four PSC meeting, the PPMU concentrated again strongly on the execution of the project components and accelerated the implementation of the activity plan for the second semester of 2011. So far, all activities have been performed to a large extent according to plan, however, with some delays on the designs and the investment part as shown below. a. Result A: Capacity Building Rural water supply management The PPMU and pCERWASS exchanged opinions and agreed on the activity planning for Capacity Development in rural water supply in 2011s 2nd semester, and the terms of reference for a consultancy on Institutional-Organizational capacity assessment of rural water supply management in Tuy Phuoc and Phu Cat. The PPMU signed contract on IOCA with consultant T&C on 28/11/2011. The result of the analysis of pCERWASSs current organization and of the policy and regulatory frameworks was presented in a report to pCERWASS, DPI, DARD and the PPMU during a stakeholder meeting at the PPMUs office.
Some other activities like Prepartion of the strategic orientation and roadmap for implementation of RWS management model was delayed until after completion of the IOCA. Completion is now expected in first semester of 2012. At the same time, a study trip on management models of Rural Water Supply works in Vietnam and abroad could not be implemented in 2011, since pCERWASS had insufficient human resources to be involved in all activities at the same time. They were postponed to 2012 after the completion of IOCA. Solid waste management Delay with the completion of the final version of the DSWMPs created problems of delays with many of the planned CD activities for SWM. In particulat the creation of the DSWMBs and Working Groups had to be postponed. Besides, during a meeting between the PPMU and an Institutional Development expert in Hanoi in September 2011, it became clear that DSWMPs were lacking involvement of the higher provincial level and that more work was needed on the institutional aspects prior to implementing the DSWMPs. The PPMU redesigned its activities and scheduled a sequence of several consultations and workshops, in order to define more clearly the institutional arrangements necessary for district SWM. TOR were prepared and a consultant hired to carry out some workshops, in order to make decisions on the institutional arrangements for SWM in the four districts, as well as provide a brief training for provincial level on the content of the DSWMPs. But the actual start of the contract for capacity development activities for SWM was postponed to 2012. Participatory irrigation management The PPMU prepared the TOR for the coaching program of the PIM process, but tendering and implementation of this activity were postponed due to budget limitations in the project for CD activities. It was necessary to wait for BTCs decision to make additional resources available for this activity. The Mid Term Reviews recommended not to continue with the PIM-development process as BTC informed them that no additional resources can be obtained. These activities were cancelled.

b. Result B: Awareness raising In the last semester, the AR activities were performed well according to plan. They will be reported in details in chapter III.2. c. Result C: Rural water supply Running water supply system of Phu Cat district On 31/12/2012, 9 of 11 works packages have been being started with construction. Of these 9 packages, 7 packages have reached 75 100% of its contract value and possibly will be completed prior to August 2012; 1 package (09-XL) was started in November 2011, reached 31% of its contract and will possibly complete in November 2012; and 1 package (10-XL) was started in July 2011 and reached 29% of the contract value. In the last time, most of the contractors have followed the committed schedule as well as the plan approved by the PSC4. However, only the contractor of package 10-XL has broken the contract that leading to a contract termination and liquidation which is ongoing by the project owner. For the outstanding work of this package, the project owner will select and award contract to another contractor. It is expected to be done in 2012. For package 03-HH, the project owner approved the tender result and awarded the contract in December 2011. After negotiation, the contract duration was shortened by more than 14 months. The new duration is from 15/12/2011 to 15/4/2012. It is now being performed by the contractor. For the packages 01-XL, 02-XL and 02-HH: As a long-lasting tendering process, the construction has not been started. In the tender plan, the construction duration of these packages are planned to be 18 months as the project owner took into account 2 rainy seasons of 2011 and 2012. Now the rainy season of 2011 has been passed. If BTCs non-objection on the tender result is received soon, the project owner will possibly negotiate with the winning bidder to shorten the construction duration to avoid the rainy season of 2013. If the packages 01-XL and 02-XL are started in February 2012 and the package 02-HH is started in Quarter 2/2012, the completion time of the whole works might be 3 months later than the plan. In the period between 1st August and 31st December 2011, the project owner paid the advances of 17,290 MVND to the contractors. On 31 st December 2011, the project owner paid the progressive installments of 35,544 MVND to the contractors, reaching 36.59% of the total value of the construction and equipment supply contracts. Rehabilitation of Hoc Mon reservoir Based on the verification report of the topographic and geological survey results made by Nguyen Truc Construction Consultancy Company, on 8 August 2011, the PPMU and ITA organized a meeting with the project owner, the designer and surveyor and the verifier on defining the quantity and quality of surveying works which had been done by the surveyor. Based on the meeting conclusion which was reported by the PPMU, BTC expressed its agreement in signing the contract with the Joint venture of CTC and BIHECCO, providing that the survey consultant had to fulfill their tasks by adapting to all the conclusions and recommendations made by the verification report under the supervision of a consultant selected by the project owner. The new contract will end on 15 February 2012. As steered by BTC, the project owner selected and awarded the contract for supervision of geological survey and topographic document correction to Hoang Le General Construction Consultancy Ltd. Company in November 2011. Now this contract has been implemented and the project owner has submitted the final report made by the supervisor to the PPMU.
Page 5
On 20 January 2012, the advance amount of the contract on making surveys, detailed design and cost estimate, which is financed by the Study Fund, was paid to the Joint venture of CTC and BIHECCO. d. Result D: Solid waste management The DSWMPs for the four districts of Hoai Nhon, Phu My, An Nhon and Tay Son was developed by EP&T. The completion date of this contract was in July 2011, but EP&T submitted the final versions of DSWMPs late in August 2011 to the PPMU. Then the PPMU disseminated these papers to the districts for checking and reviewing before approval. After reviewing, the districts and PPMU detected some errors and mistakes, which must be corrected, and some points which had been requested to be corrected but EP&T refused to do as the contract had been expired. Therefore, at the end of 2011, the DSWMPs have not been approved as plan. The PPMU suggested BTC, who approved this suggestion, to make the contract liquidation and pay the last installment to EP&T. The PPMU collaborated with the ITA and the districts to do the correction. The approval of these the DSWMPs will be approved prior to the PSC 5. The location of Hoai Nhon landfill has been moved from Hoai Duc commune to Bong Son town. So the investment plan must be redeveloped. In Phu My and Tay Son districts, the locations of the landfill still remain the same. So the detailed design will be developed based on the existing investment plan. After the PSC meeting no.4, the PPMU organized a meeting with the participation of the leaders and relating officials of Hoai Nhon DPC, Phu My DPC, An Nhon DPC, Tay Son DPC, DoC, DoNRE and DPI. This meeting was to inform every stakeholder on the steering idea of the PSC on the investment of 3 sanitary landfills in 3 districts of Hoai Nhon, Phu My and Tay Son. In the meantime, the PPMU requested the districts to make a work plan of the investment activities as well as the procedures of making, appraising and approving investment activities in line with the current regulations. As planned, in Quarter 4/2011, Hoai Nhon district has to call for tender and award the contract on making surveys, detailed planning at scale 1/500, investment plan and environmental impact assessment for the landfill of Hoai Nhon; Phu My and Tay Son districts have to call for tender and award the contract on making surveys, detailed design and cost estimation for the landfills of Phu My and Tay Son respectively. However, at the reporting time, the selection of contractors has not been made as the DSWMPs have not been approved. Now the districts are calling for tender. The bid opening is expected to be on 18 and 19 January 2012 and the contracts are expected to be signed at the beginning of March 2012 and will be performed for 120 days. e. General means Mme Nguyen Thi Ha Nguyen, the replacement of Mr. Bui Ngoc Can, has been recruited as new CAS for the project. The report for the PSC 5, which will be organized on 24 February 2012, has been preprared. From 25 to 29/9/2011, the external auditor, Deloitte Co., Ltd., hired by BTC, carried out the audit services for the period between 01/1/2011 and 30/6/2011. December 2011. The draft MTR report has been submitted to the PPMU for giving comments.
- The MTR has been carried out by AF Consult Switzerland LTD in November 3.2. Summary of disbursement progress in 2nd semester of 2011

Postponed to Quarter 2/2012, see above. Postponed and modified. and Postponed to 2012s first semester, cannot be implemented before completion of the study trip on management models in Vietnam.
Reasons of delays: - Slower than planned implementation of stakeholder analysis and IOCA, mainly due to the long time needed to tender for the consultancy and the consultant mobilized slowly after contract award. - Insufficient consideration in our planning for the risks caused by the interdependence of the different activities, whereby delays in one activity automatically cause the next activity to be equally delayed. - A desire of (request by) pCERWASS to receive more support for the implementation of the studies of management models in Vietnam and for preparing and organizing the study trip for stakeholders. - Need to modify the plan for the oversea study tour. For CD for SWM, it is similar (except last one), but we have more reasons: - Delay in DSWMPs finalization. - Need to do more work on the institutional aspects. For CD for Irrigation (PIM) the reason is: - Cancellation, due to total lack of budget and no increase possible. 2. Solid waste management It was planned to organise a supporting workshop in September 2011 for defining roles and responsibilities as described in the district solid waste management plans (DSWMPs). It was also planned to prepare the appointment of the Boards and Working Groups in each district. However, during a meeting between the PPMU and
Page 10
an Institutional Development expert in Hanoi in September, it became clear that DSWMPs were lacking involvement of the higher provincial level and that more work was needed on the institutional aspects prior to implementing the DSWMPs. The PPMU redesigned its activities and scheduled a sequence of several consultations and workshops, in order to define more clearly the institutional arrangements necessary for district SWM. 2.1 Establishing the DSWM Boards and Working Groups (9 -10/2011), including the following activities: Organize a supporting workshop for This activity was re-designed as a sequence defining roles and responsibilities of several workshops and consultations to (9/2011). define institutional arrangements for district SWM, to be executed by a consultant. Tendering: 2-21/11/2011; contract signed with consultant 13/01/2012, start of the assignment expected on 20 February 2012.

Defining coaching process of Working Groups (9 - 10/2011).
Start up coaching process of Working Groups and follow up (11 - 12/2011)
All activities planned under 2.2 and 2.3 had to be rescheduled to the first semester of 2012, since they could only be implanted based on the prior creation of the SWM Boards and Working Groups. As explained under 2.1, the latter activity was delayed because of the delay in the finalization of the DSWMPs as well as the need to do more work on the institutional aspects for implementing the DSWMPs. 3. Participatory irrigation management The recommendations in the final evaluation report of the BTC project VIE0402211 suggested the project integrate institutional PIM development when supporting the management of the upgraded irrigation system in Phu My. Therefore, the project had started a stakeholder analysis in the first semester of 2011 which was lead by the PIM Center (finished report 17/06/2011). Consequently, the project planned to continue with the PIMdevelopment process and developed terms of reference for the recruitment of a consultant for coaching of the PIM-development process for the remaining duration of the project. 3.1 Finalize TID, tender and select consultant for coaching of PIM-development process (8 - 10/2011)

However, based on budget limitations in the project for CD activities, it was necessary to wait for BTCs decision to make additional resources available for this activity. The Mid Term Reviews recommended not to continue with the PIM-development process as BTC informed them that no additional resources can be obtained.. All activities planned under 3.2 and 3.3 are based on the previous activity and therefore are now cancelled.
2. Result B: Awareness raising

Content (as approved by the PSC, based on action plan 2011/SEM2) Progress made from PSC4 to present
1 Study Trip on From 29 to 31 of July, the PPMU organised a study trip to Hanoi Awareness for provincial, district and commune partners on AR in 6 targeted Raising Models to districts. The aim of the study tour was to strengthen capacity of Hanoi members of PPMU, DONRE-EPA, pCERWASS and District & Commune Partners (DTF & ECTs) on awareness raising methods regarding solid waste management and the use of safe drinking water. The study tour gave participants a broader view on how to implement the current awareness raising strategy and how to actually reach the household level. Two organisations have been visited in Hanoi: Action for the City (ACCD) and Netherlands Development Organisation (SNV). The studytrip covered 18 participants from different levels. 2 Continue the Regular communication between PPMU Staff and the implementation of pCERWASS/EPA, on-the-job training by the PPMU and trainings Environmental given by external facilitators provided sufficient guidance to both Communication subcontractors for a good understanding and performance of their Plans awareness raising strategies and implementation of the plans.
A meeting among PPMU, DTFs and ECTs was set up to discuss

their roles and responsibilities within our project. This resulted in a greater efficiency in their work and better results for the project. ECTs (schools and communes) continued implementing awareness raising activities in their communes/schools. 3 Continue the PPMU, EPA and pCERWASS received the filled-in Monitoring & monitoring and Evaluation Formats from the ECTs quarterly and provides them evaluation of the with feedback. implementation of PPMU organized 4 progress meetings with EPA and pCERWASS EC plans to jointly evaluate their quarterly financial and technical progress reports and their overall performances of awareness raising. PPMU regularly follow-up, visit the fields and attend the awareness raising activities organized by the ECTs in communes/schools and provide them with technical support timely. 4 Internal external evaluations and Internal evaluation: All ECTs (schools & communes), with the participation of DTFs, pCERWASS and EPA, organised internal evaluation meetings in December 2011 where they presented their findings of the pilot phase. The PPMU attended some of these meetings.
Page 12
External evaluation: The PPMU hired an external consultant to

make an external evaluation on the pilot phase of the current awareness raising strategy. This evaluation also provides a thorough input for the strategic and operational planning and implementation of the extension phase of the Awareness Raising Strategy. This external evaluation was conducted by Mrs. Nguyen Huong Tra and Mrs. Do Thi Nham. The evaluation team visited all targeted district and project partners and beneficiaries: EPA, pCERWASS, 6 targeted districts, 6 communes/towns (Bong Son, Phu My, Nhon Thanh, Tay Phu, Cat Tien, Phuoc Thang); DTFs, ECTs (communes & schools) and households. The evaluation team assessed the effectiveness of the existing awareness raising strategy, and contributed to the development of the awareness raising strategy of the extension phase, the action plan and the planning process. The evaluation final report was send to PPMU in January 2012 and has being distributed to all partners of the project. 5 Wrap-up The PPMU decided to cancel the Wrap-up Workshop of the pilot Workshop of the phase for the following reasons: pilot phase - An exchange workshop was organised in September 2011, where participants could already share their experiences, achievements, expectation and hindrances (see activity no.9 below).
- PPMU met with all DTFs on location and discussed directly

with each of them the current problems, issues and ideas for AR activities of the extension phase.
- All ECTs organised separate evaluation meetings in December

2011, where they gave their final comments. 6 Develop In March 2011, pCERWASS signed a contract with Binh Dinh documentary, in Mass Media to develop a documentary film on the importance of cooperation with clean water. Binh Dinh Mass In March 2011, EPA signed a contract with Binh Dinh Mass Media Media (television) to develop documentary films on Solid waste management (2 films, one on awareness raising activities in community and one on awareness raising activities in schools). These documentaries were finalised at the end of 2011 and then broadcasted on Binh Dinh TV. They were about the awareness raising activities done in targeted communes and schools, the interviews with many stakeholders and the training provided by the PPMU. 7 Review The PPMU developed a more appropriate awareness raising environmental strategy for the extension strategy of the project based on the awareness raising awareness raising strategy for the pilot phase, external evaluation plan for the done by consultants, Mid Term Review of the overall project, extension phase workshops, meetings and documents from other projects or organizations. 8 Maintain The PPMU organized many training courses to build and develop
Page 13
awareness raising activities (after the pilot phase)
the communication capacity to all levels (district, commune, hamlet and school) so that they would have enough capacity to organize the awareness raising activities after the project ends. The PPMU developed an awareness raising strategy for the extension phase with the main partners: 6 DTFs, 15 commune ECTs (8 communes/towns of the 4 districts on solid waste and 7 communes/towns of the 2 districts on water supply), hamlet communicators and 30 school ECTs (1 primary school and 1 secondary school in each commune/town).
9 Exchange Workshop
From 27 - 30 September 2011, the PPMU organised an Exchange

Workshop for 154 participants from the DTFs, ECTs (schools & communes) and EPA/pCERWASS. The workshop gave all participants the chance to discuss their main findings of the last 6 months on the project with other communes, schools or districts. The participants also discussed how to move forward with the project, while discussing the findings from the Hanoi Study Trip and giving recommendations to the project.
In addition to the planned activities, the PPMU also implemented some extra activities, including: 1 0 Workshop for Teachers to develop Awareness Raising Methods and Guidelines: The PPMU organised another additional training for teachers on 'how to develop awareness raising materials for schools'. This workshop reached 80 participants from the provincial DoET, the district DoET of the targeted districts and the school ECTs. Up to now, 4 sets of materials for teachers (2 sets on solid waste: 1 for grade 4 and 1 for grade 8; 2 sets on clean water: 1 for grade 4 and 1 for grade 8) and 4 sets of handouts for students have been developed. These materials will be used for the awareness raising program in schools as from the school year of 2012-2013.
1 Workshop to strengthen capacities of Women Union & Youth Union Members: 1 The PPMU organised a workshop to develop communication skills and capacities of the women union and youth union members to take the lead in organising awareness raising activities on the topics of solid waste and clean water for the women and youth in their districts. The training provided them with knowledge on clean water and solid waste management, methods and skills for communication and awareness raising, which are suitable and attractive to the women and the youth. The training reached around 100 participants from women and youth union in the targeted districts, 6 communes/towns (Bong Son, Phu My, Nhon Thanh, Tay Phu, Cat Tien, Phuoc Thang).
3. Result C: Rural water supply system

Content (as approved by the PSC, based on action plan 2011/SEM2) 1. Progress made from PSC4 to present
Running water supply system of Phu Cat district Continue with the On 31/12/2011, the packages 03-XL, 04-XL, 06-XL, 07construction and XL, 08-XL and 11-XL reached 78 100% of the contracted supervision of the quantity; they are expected to be completed and accepted packages 03-XL, 04-XL, prior to May 2012.

packages follow the commited schedule. Package 10-XL just reached 29% of the planned quantity. This delay was caused by the contractor, who did not follow the commitment on human resources, machine and equipment. Now the project owner is implementing all procedures on contract termination and liquidation of this package. For the outstanding work of this package, the PPMU will instruct the project owner to select and award contract to another contractor. The oustanding works will be done in 2012.

a. General view of the disbursement progress Since the PSC 4, the PPMU has continued to concentrate strongly on the activities of Result A (Capacity building) and Result B (Awareness Raising), as well as the construction of Phu Cat Water Supply investment and the Detailed Design of Hoc Mon reservoir under Result C, and development of the DSWMPs under Result D. In general, the project activities have progressed rather well and in agreement with the expected plan of the fourth PSC. Nevertheless, administrative difficulties and external causes have led to delays in some activities and consequently delayed the disbursement progress of the GoB fund. b.

VI. CHALLENGES AND DIFFICULTIES
1. Challenges and difficulties

1.1 The increase of construction costs due to inflation causes difficulties for the counterpart fund In the last years, the prices of materials, fuels and labor increased a lot due to inflation. . At this moment the cost forecasts of the construction works estimates increased by 30% compared to those at the signing date of the Specific Agreement. The investment at the previously planned scale will be difficult, due to lack of money. In addition, the revision of cost forecasts needs to be repeated many times, which possibly will cause more delays. 1.2 Poor quality of services provided by some consultants is not satisfied caused delays in implementation of some project activities The selection of consultants providing services in the last time has been done in line with the current regulations of the Government and the donor. However, there were some consultants who did not perform the contracts well, made some mistakes requiring correction and delay the project progress (see the Progress report in chapter III).
2. The important issues the PSC needs to decide

2.1. Approval of the progress report on the projects activity and financial performance for the reporting period In agreement with the Minutes of the PSC meeting nr.4, the PPMU accelerated the execution of the approved plan. The progress of the project components have been reported above. Key issue nr.1 The PPMU requests the PSC to approve the progress report on the projects activity and financial performance for the reporting period. 2.2. Approval of action plan and financial plan The audit report no.3 including the project financial statements for the period between 01/1/2011 and 30/6/2011 has been made by the external auditor, Deloitte Co., Ltd. and attached to this report. The revised 5-year activity plan (2009 2014) and the detailed activity plan for the first semester of 2012 was presented in the Chapter IV. The financial plan for the first semester of 2012 for GoB fund and for the year 2012 for GoV fund was briefed in Chapter V.2. The details are shown in the Annex 2. A summary of the required budget related to these activities, by budget source and payment modality, is shown in the following table. Table 3. Summary of financial plan for the 1st semester of 2012 for GoB fund and for the year 2012 for GoV fund

Note: The plan for GoV fund of 2012 is Euro 412,637, or VND 9,505,500,000. Key issue nr.2 To facilitate the projects execution, the PPMU requests the PSC to approve the following report and plans: - The audit report no.3 including the project financial statements for the period between 01/1/2011 and 30/6/2011;
-
The revised 5-year activity plan (2009 2014);
The detailed activity plan for the first semester of 2012; and the financial plan for the first semester of 2012 for GoB fund and for the year 2012 for the GoV fund. 2.3. The PSC is requested to allow Hoai Nhon district apply the direct nomination for the procurement package of detailed design for the landfill Due to time constraints, as a result of the change in the location of Hoai Nhon landfill, the documents which were approved in the past (including the topographic and geological survey documents, detailed planning at scale 1/500, investment plan and environmental impact assessment) are not applicable anymore. Now the project owner is organizing a tender to select consultants for these documents. Therefore, the progress of Hoai Nhon landfill is estimated 7 months (in case the direct appointment is allowed to apply for the selection of detailed designer) later than the one of Phu My and Tay Son districts and the construction duration will possibly extend the SAs duration. Key issue nr.3 To push up the progress as committed in the SA, the PSC are recommended to consider and allow the project owner apply the direct nomination for the procurement package of detailed design for the landfill. The PPMU will provide the project owner with necessary instructions on contractor selection in line with the donors rules.
Page 26
2.4. BTC is recommended to shorten the verification duration, timely provide nonobjection and make payments for the contracts financed by Study Fund The payment to the consultancy contracts of Hoc Mon reservoir which is financed by the Study Fund was made very late, in particular: The contract on verification of the topographic and geological survey results: The PPMU sent the payment request to BTC on 9 September 2011, but the money was only received by the contractor on 26 October 2011 (according to Article 8 of the contract, BTC commit to make the payment within 25 days since they receive the payment request as regulated). The contract on making surveys, detailed design and cost estimate: The PPMU sent the advance payment request to BTC on 20 November 2011, but the contractor only received the advance payment on 20 January 2012.
Key issue nr.4 To push up the progress, BTC is requested to: Shorten the verification duration and provide timely non-objection. After receiving all supporting documents, make payments for the contracts financed by Study Fund in time. 2.5. VAT refund The VAT refund amount is not much, around 60 MVND per year, or 2,142 EUR per year, and it does not influence much on the project financing. While the time spent for claiming for VAT refund is around 20 days. Key issue nr.5 In order to save time, the PSC is requested to allow the PPMU to claim for VAT refund for the GoB fund once per year and this activity is done in every Quarter 1 of the next year. 2.6.
