The "Vietnam Action Against Plastic Pollution" Project (hereby called “the USAID’s VnAAPP Project”) is an innovative and ambitious program designed to reduce ocean plastic pollution at its source in Vietnam through strategic approaches such as convening stakeholders' power, promoting the creation and implementation of data-driven policies, enhancing knowledge sharing, promoting appropriately scaled technology and solutions, and providing technical expertise and capacity building of local governments to manage waste at its source and prevent plastic waste pollution leakages into our oceans. Three main objectives of the Project are (i) supporting the development and implementation of sub-national level Integrated Solid Waste Management Plans (ISWM); (ii) supporting scalable, demonstrated Single Used- Plastics-Products (SUP) reduction measures; and (iii) supporting multi-stakeholder actions for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).
The USAID’s VnAAPP Project is a technical assistance project using the Official Development Assistance (ODA) fund from the Government of the United State of America and the United State Agency for International Development (USAID) is the Donor.
