In 2006, the Vietnam Clean Air Partnership (VCAP) was formed by the Vietnam Association for Conservation of Nature and Environment (VACNE) to mobilize individuals and social organizations in Vietnam to initiate and participate in activities which improve air quality, protect public health, and promote the country’s sustainable development. VCAP is CAI-Asia’s local network in Vietnam and is hosted by the Swiss-Vietnamese Clean Air
Program(SVCAP).
VCAP works closely with the national government agencies (e.g., Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE), Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Industry and Trade), local governments, academe, nongovernment organizations,and private sector.
Vietnam Clean Air Partnership Brochure
The CAI-Asia Center, its Country Network and partners prepared Country Reports which provide an overview of air quality status, challenges and achievements in managing air quality and the stakeholders involved in clean air efforts.
The Country Network will focus its efforts to implement the activities in the integrated AQM model described in detail in the CAI-Asia Strategy 2010-2012. Similarly, activities in Vietnam are within the scope and priorities of CAI-Asia as described in the same strategy document. Project activities for Vietnam will be part of and in support of the CAI-Asia Center’s two flagship programs: the Air Quality Management in Asia (AQMA) program and the Sustainable Urban Mobility in Asia (SUMA) program.
The objective in 2009 would be to:
- Strengthen the Vietnam Country Network and the network of air quality stakeholders (with links to climate change, energy, and transport), building on existing networks.
- Promoting knowledge management, capacity building, and policy dialogue in air quality management and climate change.
- Develop project proposals, with support from the CAI-Asia Center, relevant units in the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of Vietnam, international organizations in Vietnam, and from the AQMA and SUMA programs.
- Strengthen further collaboration between the Vietnam Country Network and CAI-Asia Center.
