In 1996, the Primer Minister of Vietnamdirected the Ministry of Industry (MOI) to establish aprogram and plan to draft the Electricity Law for Vietnam.After six years of work and consultation the Law is still inits fourteenth draft. The MOI, in consultation with theWorld Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), decided itwas time to analyze why the progress was so slow and whatcould be done to overcome this problem. Chapter 1 of thereport reviews how the parties agreed that the situationcould best be analyzed in a open round-table discussionwhere participants would be able to express their opinionsfreely and work towards identifying solutions. It wastherefore decided to conduct a facilitated participatorydiscussion that would revitalize the law-drafting process.Chapter 2 reviews the outcomes of the round-table discussionheld on September 26 and 27, 2000. Chapter 3 consists of apower policy guidance document prepared by the World Bankadvisory team; and Chapter 4 details a legislative review ofthe fourteenth draft of the Electricity Law and addressesspecific issues that should be considered in the next phaseof the drafting process.
