The city's achievements are thanks to assigning to functional units specific tasks ranging from investment preparations to contractor selection and deployment to acceptance of the completed work.

Tran Phuoc Son, Director of the municipal Department of Planning and Investment, said that as Da Nang’s public investment will double this year, local sectors and agencies should double their efforts to clear land for contractors.

“Our public investment disbursement was high compared to recent years but we still have lots of projects that need specific plans. One of the reasons for project delays is slow land clearance. People’s Committees at all levels and their leaders should closely monitor the disbursement of public investment projects,” said Nghia.
