    Vietnam, Eastern Asia, Oceania

    Vietnam's rapid and sustained economic growth and poverty reduction in the last two decades benefitted from the policy and legal reforms embodied in the Land Laws of 1987, 1993 and 2003 and subsequent related legal acts. This note outlines reforms related to four main themes. The first relates to the needed reform for agriculture land use to create opportunity to enhance effectiveness of land use as well as to secure farmers' rights in land use. Prolonging the duration of agricultural land tenure would give land users greater incentives to invest and care for the land.

    Urbanization, which is almost completed
    now in developed countries and even in Latin America, is now
    proceeding in much of Asia at an unprecedented rate. Many of
    the countries in the region have up to half their population
    now living urban lifestyles and increasingly also living in
    urban regions. The forms that urbanization is taking in the
    developing countries, however, are problematic. Towns and
    cities that were never planned to have large populations are

    The Forest Concession Management and Control Pilot Project (FCMCPP) overall objective was developed in the early 2000s and aims at 'testing and demonstrating, through implementation, a comprehensive set of forest planning and management guidelines and control procedures and establishing an effective forest management compliance monitoring and enforcement capability'. According to the planning handbook a separate and specific document was supposed to be prepared with regard to the social issues of the forest concession planning process in order to complete the planning process.

    Vietnam

    In the wake of reforms to establish a free market in land-use rights, Vietnam is experiencing a pronounced rise in rural landlessness. To some observers this is a harmless by-product of a more efficient economy, while to others it signals the return of the pre-socialist class-structure, with the rural landless at the bottom of the economic ladder. The authors' theoretical model suggests that removing restrictions on land markets will increase landlessness among the poor, but that there will be both gainers and losers, with uncertain impacts on aggregate poverty.

    Philippines

    The economy of the Philippines is open
    to trade and capital inflows, and has grown rapidly since
    2002. Over the last 10 years, however, domestic investment,
    while stagnant in real terms, has shrunk as a share of GDP.
    In an open and growing economy, why the decline? Three
    reasons explain the puzzle. First, the public sector cannot
    afford expanding its investment at GDP growth rates.
    Second, the capital-intensive private sector does not find

    Vietnam

    Vietnam's forests remain dependent
    on public resources, including international development
    assistance, for the delivery of public and private services
    that include timber production, state forest management,
    forest protection and biodiversity conservation, and
    extension and research. Public subsidies are also provided
    to smallholder forest owners to stimulate investments into
    the sector. For the Government it is important to

    Vietnam

    The policy reforms called for in the
    transition from a socialist command economy to a developing
    market economy bring both opportunities and risks to a
    country's citizens. In poor economies, the initial
    focus of reform efforts is naturally the rural sector, which
    is where one finds the bulk of the population and almost all
    the poor. Economic development will typically entail moving
    many rural households out of farming into more remunerative
