Ex ante evaluation of aligning education with land administration (technology) in Vietnam
Bui Quang, Thanh et al.
The current rapid urbanization and land use changes in Vietnam require a new approach and an enhanced capacity for land administration at all levels. Evaluating the effects of capacity building interventions is however difficult. Often the results may only be effective after a significant number of graduates and a significant number of years. Moreover, very few projects evaluate their impacts in retrospect. Thatts why this article conducts an ex ante evaluation of for a three year project (2009-2012) aimed at building capacity in land administration in Vietnam. The ex-ante evaluation relied on our own educational alignment model, constructed in analogy to the business-IT alignment model of (Henderson and Venkatraman, 1993). We assumed from the onset that any capacity building project input would need to consider the Vietnamese institutional and historical context of both the land administration domain and the educational domain. The extent of alignment formed the basis for the evaluation.
