An additional 54 trillion VND (2.8 billion USD) will be invested in projects to supply clean water and enhance rural environmental hygiene.

The projects will improve clean water supplies and hygiene as well as raise the awareness of local communities on the importance of environmental protection and hygiene and change peoples behaviour.

In the targeted period, the projects will prioritise remote, coastal, drought-hit and flood-prone areas and places where it is difficult to access clean water.

The project will also prioritise poor and ethnic people./.
