Domestic and foreign experts gathered at a workshop in Hanoi on December 25 to share experience in applying the decentralised wastewater treatment model in Vietnam.
They were updated with policies facilitating the use of the model in the region, and market opportunities for providers of hygiene services in Southeast Asia.
They also learnt about the latest regulations on wastewater management, and decentralised wastewater treatment systems currently in use in several localities.
Representatives from the United Nations Human Settlements Programme and the UN Economic and Social Commission for the Asia-Pacific praised the initiatives that Vietnam put forth at the event, saying that they will be helpful not only for the design of the country’s own strategy on waste management but also for other countries in the region.
The event was co-hosted by the Vietnam Association of Conservation of Nature and Environment and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment’s General Department of Environment.-VNA
