Viet Nam and ADB
ADB’s assistance program for Viet Nam focuses on transitioning to a green economy, harnessing the private sector, and promoting social equity.
Viet Nam’s plastic pollution is a problem that threatens its public and environmental health, resulting in financial losses across many development sectors. It is estimated that over seven million Vietnamese are negatively affected by the impacts of plastic pollution.
Navigating the intricacies of plastic pollution in the East Asian Seas region demands a harmonized approach to data collection and management.
ADB continues its support to help Viet Nam enhance climate-resilient transportation, promote sustainable urban development, improve rural connectivity, and reduce pockets of poverty in remote areas.
The ADB's #SheExport Accelerator program, funded by We-Fi, has significantly aided Vinasamex, a WSME in Viet Nam, enhancing environmental sustainability and improving the standard of living for local farmers, especially those of ethnic minorities.
