Project connecting Provincial Road 265 in Binh Long Commune, Vo Nhai District (now Dan Tien Commune), to Bac Giang Province (now Bac Ninh Province), being accelerated

In 2026, Thai Nguyen Province was assigned a total public investment plan of VND 10,571,961 million. Cumulative disbursement under the 2026 plan has reached 62% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister and 55% of the locally implemented capital plan. Local budget-balancing capital has reached 61% of plan, while centrally supported budget capital has reached 16%. Disbursement remains low for central budget funds with targeted additions for sectoral and field-based investment; funds for National Target Programs; and additional central funds for tasks and projects for disaster recovery and natural disaster prevention and control.

Than Sa Commune accelerating disbursement of 2026 National Target Program funds

At the provincial level, disbursement progress varies considerably among project owners. Of the project owners assigned to manage provincial-budget public investment capital, 15 have relatively high disbursement rates and four are below the average. Notably, 26 project owners have recorded no disbursement, most of them entities newly allocated funding for new programs and tasks.

Across 92 communes and wards, disbursement from the beginning of the year through the end of August 2026 reached 45% of the assigned capital plan. Forty-seven communes and wards recorded rates equal to or above the commune-level average, while the remaining 45 localities were below average.

Compensation, site clearance and resettlement remain among the largest bottlenecks to public investment implementation and disbursement in agencies and localities. Difficulties in inventorying assets, determining land origins and land prices, and approving compensation plans, coupled with a lack of consensus among some residents, have delayed site handover and consequently construction and project disbursement. In addition, some projects have not generated disbursement volumes because they are still undergoing investment preparation or revisions to their investment policies or project plans, prolonging the completion of dossiers and procedures…

The province requires project owners to step up supervision of contractors, require progress commitments, and supplement personnel, machinery and equipment, particularly for key works

To accelerate disbursement, the province has instructed project owners and localities to focus intensively on site clearance, especially on resolving issues concerning land prices, land origins, boundaries and compensation plans, so that sites can be handed over to projects as soon as possible. It will also strengthen management and collection of land use fees and expedite auctions of land use rights to generate resources for projects.

The province also requires project owners and People’s Committees of communes and wards to proactively update changes in construction material prices and promptly adjust estimates in accordance with regulations; strengthen oversight of contractors; require progress commitments; and add personnel, machinery and equipment, especially for key works. Projects must develop detailed monthly and quarterly disbursement plans for each program and task, take advantage of favorable weather to organize “three shifts, four crews,” and speed up completed work volumes. Agencies and localities must also assess each project’s disbursement capacity, proactively propose reductions to capital plans for projects with low disbursement rates or no longer needing, or unable to use, all allocated funds, and reallocate funds to projects that can disburse quickly and require additional capital.

The province further requires faster acceptance and payment for completed work, completion of project dossiers and final accounts, and avoidance of a year-end backlog of payment dossiers. It will focus on resolving obstacles project by project and issue by issue, particularly for projects with large capital allocations. Resolutely accelerating public investment disbursement will help complete the 2026 capital plan, provide additional momentum to achieve socioeconomic development targets, and promote provincial growth.
