A delegation of PNoWB members visited Vietnam from March 21 to March 24, 2005 to review the World Bank activities. The delegation headed by Monica Frassoni, member of the European Parliament, included PNoWB Board members and members of parliament from countries as diverse as Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, India, Jordan, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan and Republic of Korea.
During their four day visit, the delegates visited three World Bank projects: the Hon Mun Marine Protection Area Project in Nha Trang; the Community Based Rural Infrastructure Project in Ninh Thuan province; and the Urban Upgrading Project in Ho Chi Minh City. The delegates highlighted the participatory consultations carried out across these three projects with the community, and the efforts made in some cases to enhance both physical infrastructure and human capital.
