Project Details
| Name | The project “Strategic Plastic Litter Abatement in the Red river, Vietnam” |
| Description | The project aims to contribute to promoting innovative technology solutions combined with communication to improve riverine and estuarine solid waste management in the Red River Delta region. The project is implemented through improving the river trash capture tool that has been tested from the previous initiative, and replicating it on the Red River and its tributaries in Nam Dinh, while monitoring data from other river trash capture tools on that river to evaluate the waste composition as well as the effectiveness of the tools and carry out communication activities to improve solid waste management, promote policies and actions to reduce plastic waste. RESULTS IN NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS AND PROJECT BENEFICIARIES: 1) 4,425 direct people participants in project activities. Main participants include: 386 direct participants are officials from non-state actors; 827 direct participants are officials of local agencies; 17 direct participants are private sector officials; 3,130 direct participants are from community groups; 65 direct participants are central agency officials. 2) Nearly 19 million hits of people accessing project information and knowledge and implemented activities. 3) Over 800 direct participants have had their capacity enhanced through training, dialogue and technical support activities on solid waste and plastic waste management, of which women account for 62%, youth account for 16%. 4) 45 agencies and units participate in coordinating project implementation, demonstrating multi-party cooperation to improve the efficiency of the process of collecting, classifying and treating waste in project areas. |
