Accordingly, the World Bank has agreed on a US$50 million soft loan sourced from the International Development Association (IDA). The Government and Vietnamese enterprises have pledged to cover the rest for the project.

The information was announced at the conference to launch the project held by the MPI and the World Bank in Ha Noi on April 2.

Addressing the conference, Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Van Trung said that the project was important for Viet Nam to deal with challenges in environmental pollution caused by waste, waste water and industrial emission.

The project will help further improve the management of industrial pollution in Viet Nam, especially industrial wastewater in IZs located in the four benefiting provinces for further application.
