WB helps develop urban infrastructure in Vietnam’s provinces
The World Bank (WB) Board of Executive Directors has approved a 194.36 million USD credit package to help four secondary cities in Vietnam build critically-needed municipal infrastructure and strengthen urban planning, the WB said on June 12.
Approximately 200,000 residents are expected to benefit directly from project activities, of which more than half are women. The project will help reduce flood risks, improve sanitation, reduce travel time on new and improved roads, and develop high-quality public spaces.
