Project “Stimulating the Demand and Supply of Sustainable Products through Sustainable Public Procurement and Ecolabelling” (SPPEL): Sustainable Public Procurement Action Plan

The SPP Action Plan is developed with the overall aim to promote the implementation of SPP in Vietnam, especially in State agencies through capacity building, communication, and promotion of eco-label use (Vietnam Green Label, Energy Star label, etc.) as a main means for verifying environmental criteria, alongside the adjustment of social and economic criteria which are currently being used in conventional public procurement. In order to achieve the overall objective, the SPP Action Plan sets the following specific objectives: i) Identify the main activities to promote the implementation of SPP in Vietnam, as well as the relevant targets and means to measure success (key performance indicators); ii) Identify the main activities to enhance the visibility and certification of eco-labels in Vietnam; and iii) Propose the organizational structure, funding sources and mechanisms to implement the activities.
