Description

The project was designed to improve water supply and sanitation systems in five provinces in central and southern Viet Nam where, after years of inadequate investment and poor maintenance, lack of safe water and sanitation facilities inhibited social and economic development and posed serious health and environmental risks. This was the third successive provincial town water and sanitation project financed by the ADB in Viet Nam. The projects formed part of a wider government program for urban town rehabilitation and includes modernizing infrastructure to attract private investment and improve living standards.

This report validates the completion report’s assessment of the project which aims to improve health and quality of life of people in the project towns in Viet Nam through construction of water supply, drainage, and sanitation facilities and providing health and hygiene education. IED overall assessment: Successful
