| 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. |
