The development objective of the Industrial Pollution Management Project for Vietnam is to improve compliance with industrial wastewater treatment regulations in four of the most industrialized provinces in Vietnam. There are three components to the project. The first component is environmental policy, monitoring and enforcement. This will comprise three subcomponents: (a) policy review and revision; (b) environmental monitoring and enforcement; and (c) information disclosure and public participation.
