Vietnam Netherlands Integrated Coastal Zone Management (VNICZM), Vietnam |
The Vietnam - Netherlands Integrated Coastal Zone Management (VNICZM) Project aims at establishing a longer term ICZM capability in Vietnam, focusing on the goal of advising the Vietnamese Government in the planning and development of the Vietnamese coastal zone in a sustainable way.
The VNICZM Project is working at two levels of government, advising the National level through the Vietnam Environment Protection Agency of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, and the Provincial level through three provincial pilot projects with an advisory secretariat at the Department of Natural Resources and Environment in the provinces of Nam Dinh, Thua Thien Hue and Ba Ria Vung Tau. In each office a Nedeco resident advisor assists the implementation supported by short visits from Nedeco specialists.
The project’s main tasks, at the National level and in the three pilot provinces, are to:
- Establish facilities and support institutional arrangements for ICZM
- Establish and maintain inventory of coast related projects and plans in Vietnam
- Develop ICZM Strategies and Action Plans
- Develop GIS capability and promote accessibility of databases
- ICZM Training & awareness raising
- Studies and Thematic Scientific Meetings on Critical Issues
