Director of the Dong Thap Province Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board Tran Minh Trung said: "From the beginning of the year, the unit has urgently implemented the projects according to the set plan.

To date, all projects have progressed as planned. It is expected that by the end of July 2025, the unit will disburse capital at a rate of about 40%. In the remaining months of 2025, the Board will actively implement the remaining tasks to ensure the progress plan is achieved.

To achieve this goal, the Board will focus on coordinating with relevant units to accelerate site clearance (GPMB). For ongoing bid packages, the investor will regularly inspect, monitor, and urge contractors to ensure progress.

In 2025, the Investment and Construction Project Management Board of Region 3, Dong Thap province was assigned a total capital of more than VND 2,259 billion. The capital disbursed by the end of June 2025 was VND 717,863 billion, reaching a rate of nearly 32%.

Accordingly, the Board's leaders regularly inspect the actual construction works to promptly remove difficulties and obstacles, urge contractors to speed up construction progress, and ensure completion on schedule. In the coming time, the unit will continue to strengthen supervision to speed up capital disbursement progress according to the direction of the Government and the province.

With the focus on synchronous solutions, the total disbursement value in the first 6 months of the year was over VND 5,125 billion, reaching 36.1% of the plan at the beginning of the year and 31.2% of the adjusted plan. According to the report of the Ministry of Finance , the disbursement rate of public investment capital in Dong Thap province is higher than the average disbursement rate of the whole country. Of which, the local budget capital disbursed over VND 3,647 billion, reaching 33% of the adjusted plan; the central budget capital disbursed over VND 1,478 billion, reaching 27.4% of the adjusted plan.

According to the assessment of the Provincial People's Committee, in the first 6 months of 2025, the Provincial People's Committee has focused on directing many key groups of solutions to effectively implement the public investment plan. Thereby, many positive results have been achieved such as: Investment preparation work was completed early, progress continued to be shortened compared to the same period; strictly controlled, shortened the implementation time of bidding packages; focused on site clearance work; strongly transferred the capital plan for 2025; regularly inspected and monitored the progress and quality of construction works and projects and coordinated well with central ministries and branches... Therefore, the implementation of the province's public investment plan for 2025 continued to have positive changes.

KEEP ACCELERATION

According to the Provincial People's Committee, in order to successfully implement the tasks and socio-economic development goals in 2025 and strive to disburse 100% of the public investment capital plan, in the last months of the year, the province will continue to direct departments, branches and localities to focus on implementing key tasks and solutions.

Many key projects in the province are being focused on speeding up progress.

Accordingly, Dong Thap will continue to implement Resolution 01/NQ-CP, 02/NQ-CP of the Government, Resolution of the Provincial Party Committee, Provincial People's Council on socio-economic development and improvement of the business environment, enhancing provincial competitiveness in 2025. At the same time, the province will resolutely fight against stagnation, strictly handle negative cases in public investment; continue to conduct online bidding according to regulations, ensure publicity, transparency, and select qualified contractors. At the same time, strictly handle cases of contractors violating contract progress.

To promote the disbursement of the 2025 public investment plan, the Provincial People's Committee has directed departments, branches, sectors and localities to implement many key solutions. One of the important solutions is to focus on investment preparation.

Accordingly, right from the mid-2024 session, the Provincial People's Committee submitted to the Provincial People's Council for approval the 2025 public investment plan to serve as a basis for investors to proactively prepare for investment and site clearance to implement the project. The province assigned capital plans to investors immediately after the 2025 public investment plan was approved by the Provincial People's Council.

At the same time, monitor the implementation of construction investment and disbursement of projects to continue transferring capital from low-volume projects to high-volume projects; urge investors to repay capital from the Land Development Fund, contributing to speeding up the disbursement progress of public investment plans.

Dong Thap also focuses on removing obstacles in site clearance work to soon have a clean construction site. At the same time, direct departments, branches and localities to improve the quality of planning and appraisal of contractor selection plans and strictly control the implementation time of construction and equipment packages to quickly put works and projects into operation and use.

In addition, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Committee regularly inspects the implementation of public investment plans in the province. Thereby, it has promptly resolved difficulties and problems in basic construction investment in the area...

For transitional projects, the Provincial People's Committee requires investors to accelerate construction progress, ensure project quality; conduct acceptance and capital payment as soon as there is volume to disburse the assigned capital well. One of the important contents is to continue to regularly transfer the 2025 capital plan between internal investors and investors to accelerate disbursement progress. For newly started projects, investors focus on completing the selection of contractors and promptly implementing the projects.

Regarding the land acquisition and resettlement work, Dong Thap will urgently complete the documents and proactively remove difficulties and obstacles in compensation, support and resettlement. To speed up this work, the province will continue to strengthen propaganda and mobilize people to grasp and understand the State's policies and guidelines, creating consensus in the land acquisition and resettlement work, contributing to speeding up the project's progress. At the same time, continue to use the Provincial Land Development Fund to pay for compensation work in order to soon complete the land acquisition and resettlement work, meeting the project's progress.

The Provincial People's Committee will direct departments, branches and localities to proactively review, guide, hand over and transfer public investment projects in the process of arranging and perfecting the organization of the two-level local government apparatus.

This is to ensure the progress of implementation and disbursement of the 2025 public investment plan, avoiding delays and interruptions due to the impact of administrative unit restructuring and mergers. Localities must strengthen the direction of their subordinate management units; focus on removing difficulties and obstacles, speeding up the implementation progress and disbursing well the management capital.
