In 2019, under the lead of the General Directorate of Water Resources of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and with the help of the Vietnam Water Partnership, a series of workshops was organised in Vietnam to define strategic actions for advancing on IWRM. The sessions brought together stakeholders from government agencies, NGOs, development partners, civil society, and research institutions to work on solutions to increase efficiency and sustainable development of water resources. The following action was defined as part of that process and identified as a priority action to be included in an action plan.
The purpose of this action is to modernise the irrigation system in the Mekong River Delta regions. It aims to do so by working on infrastructure and enhancing service capacity, while modernising the management and operation of the irrigation system and focusing on resource mobilisation. Furthermore, it aims at ensuring water efficiency by fostering institution development for hydraulic work and assigning clear responsibilities to partners.
