Abstract

This research aimed to develop and varify a model assessing factors affecting ODA project performance. The research adopted qualitative methods (one-on-one discussion, group discussion, 2-round expert network interview) to develop models and used quantitative methods (Cronbach Alpha test, EFA, CFA, and SEM) to varify the model. Research findings from 212 officers and staffs involved in urban railway projects in Vietnam showed that three factors among six factors that directly affected project performance were (1) management capacity; (2) adaptability and (3) financial capacity. Factors such as organization ability and risk management did not show an obvious influence on project performance.
