 Social Economic Planning Process

          The Commune/Ward/Town Socio-Economic Planning Process (SEPP) aims to improve planning in Quang Ngai Province through merging community needs with available projects, programs and funding resources. SEPP Guidelines were developed and approved by the Provincial People’s Committee on 06 July 2007 (PPC Decision No. 1514/QD-UBND). SEPP was conducted in all Communes, Wards and Towns in the 12 mainland Districts, Ly Son Island and Quang Ngai City in Quang Ngai Province in 2007 and the process will continue to be refined and used in 2008.

 

Principles:

 

          SEPP adheres to 4 general principles that take into account relevant National Government policies and decrees and recognize Viet Nam’s current decentralization and public administration reform progress.

  • Grass Roots Democracy and Participation

  • Integration of Grassroots Demand with Government Plans, Projects and Available Budgets

  • Reliable forecasts of Funding Sources

  • Capacity Building

 

SEPP Implementation Steps:

 

SEPP is conducted using eight steps:  
  • Step 1: Collection of Commune basic information and PRA field exercises

  • Step 2: District and Commune Orientation Plan Workshops to outline available projects, programs and funding sources for Commune for the following year.

  • Step 3: Reports on the implementation of estimates of the Socio-Economic Development Plan of the current year and projections for the next year.

  • Step 4: Village/Household Group Planning Meetings (Village Meetings) held to identify priority household and community problems and activities

  • Step 5: The Commune People’s Committee finalises the Commune Socio- Economic Plan at a Commune Plan Preparation Meeting and submits the Plan to the District People’s Committee. The Commune People’s Committee also prepares a list of priority projects that have yet not been funded

  • Step 6: The Commune Plan is submitted to the District People’s Committee via the District Planning and Finance Division for consideration and assignments of the Socio-Economic Development Plans to the Communes/Wards/Towns.

  • Step 7: Implementation of the Commune Plans.

  • Step 8: Monitoring, evaluating and reporting of the Commune Plan by the Commune People’s Committee
