Speaking at the opening of the training program, Mr. Nguyen Van Do - Director of Nghe An Department of Planning and Investment emphasized: "Development investment from public investment capital plays an important role in the development of the provinces".

The public investment information system and the information system on monitoring and evaluating investment in programs and projects, and investment using state capital were established to help state management agencies and management units more quickly and effectively provide information on projects using public investment capital; investors report on the implementation status, disbursement and investment monitoring and evaluation reports for each project promptly and effectively.

This helps all levels and sectors promptly grasp the general situation of public investment, difficulties and problems of units to have solutions and increase the efficiency of using public investment capital.

Since 2018, the development of public investment plans and monitoring and evaluation reports of investment programs and projects for projects using state capital of ministries, branches, provinces and affiliated cities have all been developed and submitted through the system. Therefore, the Department of Planning and Investment coordinates to organize training courses for units to understand and use; ensuring the system operates promptly, effectively, synchronously and consistently throughout the province.
