Request For Proposal from Consulting Firms - Research Paper - Topic 10
Publish Date: 02-Jul-2009

Project “Support for the Formulation of Socio-Economic Development Strategy 
(SEDS) 2011-2020” funded by UNDP starts in July 2008 with an aim to support the 
Government of Viet Nam to formulate an evidence-based ten-year development 
strategy through a broadly participatory and consultative process. The project 
will provide assistance directly to the Ministry of Planning and Investment 
(MPI)/Development Strategy Institute (DSI) to deliver two outputs: (1) SEDS 
2011-2020 developed based on sound evidence and best international experience 
and knowledge; (2) SEDS 2011-2020 formulated in a participatory and consultative 
manner.

The project will provide technical assistance to the Drafting Team -- and hence 
the Sub-Committee for the formulation of SEDS - to (i) analyse and assess the 
development situation of the country comprehensively and (ii) propose to the Sub 
Committee strategic development directions and options for the nation for the 
next ten years.

The project plans to conduct a number of studies in 2009. One of the planned 
studies is a research paper (with its presentation to the Sub-Committee’s SEDS 
2011-2020 Drafting Team) researching on “Pivotal Economic Regions and Spatial 
Development: What can Viet Nam Learn from International Experiences?”. The 
project is seeking international expertise to undertake the research work.

The first call for Expression of Interest was published on local newspapers in 
Vietnam (on Vietnam News on 18-19 & 22 December 2008 and on Lao Dong Newspaper 
on 17, 18 & 19 December 2008) and posted on UN, UNDP Vietnam and UN Global 
Marketplace websites. To attract more research institutions to collaborate with 
DSI and the Drafting Team in producing the research paper, the project invites 
research institutions to submit in English a proposal for services in respect of 
the above mentioned research paper.
