The World Bank has given US$75 million for Vietnam’s land management project that costs US$100 million.
 
The government has contributed US$25 million of reciprocal capital to the project that is underway in nine provinces and cities, including Tien Giang, Be Tre, Vinh Long, Hanoi, Hung Yen, and Thai Binh.
 
By the end of June, 54 out of 64 cities and provinces in Vietnam had completed land and land ownership rights documents, the government’s General Department for Land Management said.
