The decision aims to improve the quality of river water, which tends to be poor and suffers from severe pollution in some areas such as Cau, Day, Nhue rivers and Dong Nai River system.
The steering committee is responsible for directing, monitoring and supervising the execution of the project to ensure the target is met, schedule is followed and quality is achieved.
The project is the result of co-operation efforts between the governments of Việt Nam and Japan and will be rolled out between 2016 and 2018.
Vo Tuan Nhan, deputy minister of Natural Resources and Environment, is heading the committee, which brings together ministry leaders and heads of provincial and city departments as well as representatives of the International Co-operation Agency of Japan in Việt Nam.
