ADB Briefs 12: The Irrigation Service Fee Waiver in Viet Nam

This policy brief aims to inform policy makers in the Government of Viet Nam and development partners involved in developing the water and irrigation subsector about the irrigation service fee waiver and related issues. This is intended to stimulate debate and plan for rational solutions to unintended impacts of government policy. The policy brief is the summary of a larger study, Review of the Impact of the Viet Nam Government’s Waiver of Irrigation Service Fees (31 August 2012), which was financed with a grant from the Water Financing Partnership Facility.
