as heard at the fifth meeting of the programme’s steering committee on

Participants at the conference agreed that the programme has been stalled by problems relating to responsibilities and duties as well as salary for operation and maintenance teams and the lack of equipment and experience in maintenance.
Deputy Minister of Construction Phan Thi My Linh, Head of the programme, asked beneficiary provinces to address relevant issues to facilitate project conclusion.
The programme, which began in 2004 and is sponsored by the Finnish Government, implemented phases I and II at 25 towns in eight provinces and cities: Hai Phong, Hung Yen, Thai Binh, Bac Kan, Cao Bang, Ha Giang, Tuyen Quang and Yen Bai.
Twenty-two water-supply systems have been built so far, 14 of which have been put into operation and the remaining eight are undergoing tests.
The programme’s water systems have supplied water to over 17,000 households with around 60,000 people and about 4,500 households have been connected to drainage systems.
Programme phase III, beginning in 2014 and lasting for three years, aims to complete projects and ensure the sustainability of results achieved in phases I and II.-VNA
