The projects focus on improving public health services and infrastructure in Ben Tre, Binh Dinh, Ninh Thuan, Vinh Long, An Giang, Khanh Hoa, Tra Vinh, and Ca Mau provinces as well as Can Tho city and Ho Chi Minh City.
Speaking at the signing ceremony of the Direct Aid Programme (DAP) in HCM City on January 7, Australian Consul General John McAnulty referred to the many DAP projects over the past three years which have contributed to improved local living standards across central and southern Vietnam.
Specifically, DAP-provided water filter systems in rural areas gave children the opportunity to wash their hands with clean water.
The DAP, backed by 141 million AUD (119.8 million USD) as part of the non-refundable Australian government aid for Vietnam in 2014-2015, aims to address humanitarian difficulties. Each DAP project receives roughly 10,000 USD.-VNA
