Abstract

The research was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of public & private partnership (PPP) in solid waste management of Ho Chi Minh City, where many pilot projects have been developed as illus-trations for Vietnam in the past years. The research used OECD criteria for policy evaluation and had discussions with specialists to evaluate the effectiveness of public & private partnership (PPP) in solid waste management of Ho Chi Minh City. The results indicated that the pilot projects achieved significant successes in meeting the management objectives such as reducing burdens on public invest-ment for urban environmental services, minimizing pollutions caused by municipal solid waste, and applying advanced technologies to the final treatment and/or disposal. The research, however, also pointed out the disadvantages of PPP during development, which are mostly relevant to supporting regulations or implementation capacity. From those outputs and lessons learnt from other cases in the world, some recommendations have been proposed for improving the effectiveness and spreading the implementation of PPP in other places.
