Accordingly, the 3 projects include: Inter-district road project along the main canal through Ham Thuan Bac, Bac Binh, Tuy Phong districts; Investment project for sea dykes in Tuy Phong area and Water supply system project in Tan Lap commune, Ham Thuan Nam district.

Specifically, according to the report of the People's Committee of Binh Thuan province, the project to invest in sea dykes in Tuy Phong area has a 3-year implementation period (from 2020 and transition to the 2021-2025 period). The project has a total investment of 74,402 billion VND, the investment capital comes from the central budget reserve in 2019, the provincial budget capital and the central budget support for the 2021-2025 period.

The project was completed and put into use on April 15, 2024, 422 days later than scheduled. The reason is that during the implementation and construction of the project, there were problems with the construction site and the resolution of project design documents. The capital allocated for the project to date is 53.915 billion VND, of which 53.897 billion VND has been disbursed, and the remaining 18 million VND has not been disbursed. The investor committed to completing the project settlement by 2025 and taking responsibility before the Provincial People's Committee for the delay in project implementation progress.

Regarding the Tan Lap commune water supply system project, Ham Thuan Nam district, the implementation period is 3 years, the progress is from 2022 to 2024; the total investment of the project is 55,160 billion VND from the provincial budget.

The reason for the delay is that the investment preparation period lasted from August 2021 to April 2023 due to the need to carry out additional procedures beyond the feasibility study report. The capital allocated for the project to date is 37,756 billion VND, of which 3,611 billion VND has been disbursed, and the remaining undisbursed capital is 34,145 billion VND. The investor commits to proactively coordinate with relevant units to complete and finalize the project for use in 2025.

The remaining project, the inter-district road along the main canal through Ham Thuan Bac, Bac Binh, Tuy Phong districts, has a total investment of 950,018 billion VND from investment capital from government bonds and the provincial budget; the project implementation period is 5 years. Compared to the prescribed progress, the project construction time has been extended by 1 year.

The reason was determined to be that during the implementation process, some items of the project were adjusted and supplemented, and compensation and site clearance work was still involved. The capital for the project to date is 950.018 billion VND, of which 931.023 billion VND has been disbursed, and the remaining 18.995 billion VND has not been disbursed. The investor committed to put the project into operation, use and final settlement by the end of 2024.
