Description

Following consultations between the Government of Viet Nam (GOV) and Government of Australia (GOV) in 1998, which prioritised support for rural development and small-scale infrastructure, an identification mission was undertaken in 6 provinces of the Mekong Delta in January 1999 focusing on opportunities to support the rural water sector. That mission recommended that AusAID prepare a project to develop replicable and sustainable models for providing water supply and sanitation services to disadvantaged rural communes and towns in Bac Lieu, Ben Tre, Kien Giang, Long An and Vinh Long provinces. It was intended these models would cover the provision of water supplies, human sanitation facilities, solid waste management systems and minor drainage systems to improve household living conditions and handle the increased volume of waste water. The models were to promote community participation in planning and operating facilities, and to support cost recovery, health and hygiene awareness campaigns and environmentally sound implementation and management.
