Tóm tắt Luận án Tiến sĩ: Thu hút ODA của Việt Nam trong bối cảnh mới

ODA (Official Development Assistance) has historically been a crucial financial resource for Vietnam's socio-economic development. However, as Vietnam transitions to a lower-middle-income country and faces a rapidly evolving global landscape characterized by shifting donor priorities, global crises, and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the traditional model of ODA attraction is undergoing significant changes. This necessitates a profound re-evaluation of Vietnam's approach to ODA, moving towards greater self-reliance and strategic adaptation. Understanding these new dynamics and formulating effective strategies for both attracting and gradually transitioning away from ODA is paramount for Vietnam's sustainable development goals, particularly as the nation aims for high-income status by 2045. This study delves into these critical challenges and opportunities, providing a comprehensive analysis of ODA attraction in Vietnam's new context.

The dissertation, "Attracting ODA in Vietnam in the New Context," systematically investigates the evolving landscape of Official Development Assistance (ODA) in Vietnam from 2010 to 2024, with a forward outlook to 2045. It begins by clarifying the theoretical underpinnings of ODA, its attraction, and the concept of "new context," which incorporates global shifts like the Fourth Industrial Revolution, green transition, and political instability. The research analyzes international experiences in ODA attraction from selected countries and critically assesses Vietnam's ODA realities during the specified period, identifying both achievements and persistent limitations, such as reliance on traditional partners and slow disbursement. Methodologically, the study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative analysis (policy analysis, literature review, comparative studies) with quantitative methods, including econometric models applied to time-series data (2010-2021) to evaluate factors influencing ODA flows. Data is sourced from reputable international organizations (WB, ADB, OECD) and Vietnamese government agencies, ensuring reliability and objectivity. This comprehensive approach enriches the theoretical framework of ODA in new contexts, notably by proposing criteria for assessing when ODA attraction should cease. The practical value of this research lies in providing an updated and empirical overview of Vietnam's ODA landscape, offering concrete forecasts and scenarios for ODA attraction until 2045. It proposes feasible solutions to enhance ODA effectiveness in the short term while strategizing its gradual replacement with other financial channels, aligning with Vietnam's long-term development aspirations towards high-income status. This work serves as a vital reference for policymakers in strategic planning and implementation, as well as for academics and students in international economics and development studies.
