As part of the Vietnam-Canada Environment project, the VPEG sought to partner with the DoNRES in Hanoi, Hai Duong and Bac Ninh in the north, Quang Ngai, Da Nang in the central and the southern provinces of Soc Trang, Long An, and Binh Duong, in this field.
During the 2008-2013 period, the project has helped build an industrial facility inventory online database in Binh Duong province, set up a community-based environmental management model in handicraft villages in Bac Ninh while improving the leadership in industrial pollution management in Soc Trang, said Le Ke Son, Deputy Head of the Environment General Department and VPEG Director.
The project also recognised the strategic position of DoNREs with respect to dealing with pollution prevention and provided assistance to facilitate the capacity development of DonRE staff in cleaner production assessment.
As a result of the VPEG technical assistance in cleaner production, the DoNREs not only developed deeper knowledge and skills in conducting cleaner production assessment, but also established a strong collaboration with relevant agencies and branches in the localities.
The project supported 15 enterprises on completing cleaner production assessment demonstration in during 2010 and 2011.
Besides, gender equality has been integrated into the project. The DoNREs in Hai Duong, Soc Trang, Binh Duong and Long An plan to carry out models on promoting the role of women in community-based environmental communication and monitoring groups.
The MoNREs in Da Nang and Quang Ngai will also have manuals on gender and enhancement of climate change resilience capacity for businesses.-VNA
