CONTEXT
Because of rapid socio-economic development, urbanization and industrialization, Vietnams environment has come under intense pressure. Furthermore, due to drought conditions in large parts of the year, the population lacks reliable water for use in households, farming and business. Domestic and industrial demand for water is vastly increasing and there is an urgent need for water supply systems. At the same time, industrial, agricultural and domestic waste pollutes water sources. Solid waste management is brought to the forefront of Vietnams environmental challenges. Urbanization has greatly magnified the problems with the management systems; not only has there been an increase in the amounts of waste generated, but also the composition of the waste has changed. At present, solid waste collection rates are still very low and the current system is under great strain, due to lack of institutional capacity and insufficient human and capital resources.
OBJECTIVES
The Water Supply and Sanitation Program in Binh Dinh Province (WSSP) attempts to address these problems for the population from several communes in 6 districts of Binh Dinh (An Nhon, Hoai Nhon, Phu Cat, Phu My, Tay Son and Tuy Phuoc districts). The project will contribute to poverty reduction, enhance public health and improve living conditions and quality of life for the people, through the following activities: Build the capacity of the agencies in charge of planning, designing, implementing and managing rural water schemes and solid waste management systems Raise the awareness of the population on the use of safe drinking water and on the need to preserve water resources and the environment, through proper solid waste management; by collecting, recycling and treatment, before disposal Constructing rural water systems Implementing solid waste treatment schemes The Project is executed under National Execution Modality.
