Vietnam, US launch new five-year project to reduce environmental pollution
The Vietnamese and US agencies on November 15 launched a five-year 11.3 million USD project called “Reducing Pollution” to help lessen environmental pollution in Vietnam. The project is conducted by the United States Mission to Vietnam, through the US Agency for International Development (USAID), and Vietnam’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE), through Vietnamese-led collective action.
Through a broad consultative process with authorised government agencies, local communities, and environmental experts, the Reducing Pollution project has identified six priority collective impact initiatives that reflect strong political will, community leadership, and engagement from private sector partners to address environmental pollution challenges.
