WB Supports Better Water Management in Vietnam

The World Bank Board of Executive Directors have approved a US$25 million credit to Vietnam to help Vietnam better manage trans-boundary water resources and climate risks through river basin approaches and improved water resources data collection, analysis, and exchange.

 

The Integrated Water Resources Management Project – Phase 2 will contribute to the overall goal of implementation of integrated water resources management in the Lower Mekong Basin for sustainable economic, social and environmental development by developing the capacity of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Vietnam National Mekong Committee and relevant agencies.

 

The project is the second part of a 4-phase programme, which establishes key examples of integrated water resources management practices in the Lower Mekong basin.
