| Description | The objectives of the Project are to (i) improve the urban environment through appropriate urban infrastructure development and the effective and sustainable management or urban services; (ii) further human development through environmental improvements; (iii) support economic growth through the development and management of sustainable and well-planned infrastructure development and urban services; and (iv) reduce environmental health hazards to the urban community. The Project consists of three parts: Part A - infrastructure improvements consisting of urban drainage/sewerage rehabilitation; solid waste management, crematoria, and capacity building and institutional strengthening; Part B - environmental improvements consisting of industrial pollution control, air quality monitoring, and capacity building and institutional strengthening; and Part C - implementation assistance. |
| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | Existing combined drainage and sewerage systems within HCMC are presently grossly inadequate due to aging and overloading brought about by rapid urbanization. The frequent overflow of highly polluted waters poses health risks to the population and disrupts economic and social activities. The existing solid waste collection system is presently inadequate due to insufficient collection and transport equipment, and leads to illegal disposal of solid waste in sewers and waterways. The Project will support the Government's objectives and development strategy to 2020 for the sector by providing investments in areas of high priority and improving sector institutions. The Project supports the Government's initiatives in the reduction of brown pollution issues through various pilot approaches with the industry sector. |
