CCBO Initial Solid Waste Management Assessment Vietnam

The following presents the Initial Solid Waste Management Assessment (ISWMA) for the program’s four engagement sites in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam:

• Biên Hòa (in Đồng Nai Province)
• Da Nang City (Class-1municipality)
• Huế (in the Thua Thien-Huế Province)
• Phú Quốc District (in Giang Province)

This ISWMA was developed to establish a current understanding of 3Rs/SWM in Vietnam and aid CCBO in supporting Vietnam to build capacity to reduce plastics pollution in the ocean and improve the environment and advance urban SWM planning and management. The ISWMA’s main objectives are to:

• Identify the existing components of the 3R/SWM systems in each of the engagement sites;
• Assess and determine those areas that are expected to need improvements;
• Identify additional information that is needed to support implementation for improved systems; and
• Provide recommendations that will ultimately inform the program’s Year One and subsequent Work Plans as well as local SWM Plans for each engagement site.
