RFA: “Technical support to strengthen the methodological foundation on carrying capacity assessment related to water quality management in river basins”

REQUEST FOR APPLICATION RFA-6997-24-22 ON TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO STRENGTHEN THE METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATION ON CARRYING CAPACITY ASSESSMENT RELATED TO WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN RIVER BASINS.

Winrock International (Winrock) is implementing the Reducing Pollution Project, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), in close collaboration with Project Management Unit under the Pollution Control Department (PCD) as the Project Owner and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) as the Managing Agency. The Reducing Pollution Project is supporting Vietnam’s efforts to address environmental pollution challenges through a series of locally driven initiatives using a collective impact approach.

To achieve the ultimate goal of sustaining and expanding reduction in environmental pollution in targeted areas, in addition to implementing collective impact initiatives, the Project supports the Government of Vietnam (GVN) to develop appropriate legal and institutional frameworks for effective implementation of the Environmental Protection Law (2020). Within the 2024 workplan, the project is supporting PCD to strengthen the methodological foundation on carrying capacity assessment related to water quality management in river basins.

This support aims to equip PCD with a more solid methodology and technical foundation for water environmental quality management in river basins. Through this activity, Winrock would also enhance PCD’s capacity to guide localities in assessing their discharge capacity for effective management and control over producers of waste and water source quality management. Implementing this assignment will help PCD to consult widely and have working sessions with relevant parties, thereby strengthening MONRE’s relationships with other agencies, ministries, departments and branches, and producers of waste. This support provides the foundation and sets precedent for future implementation of water source management regulations.

Winrock is pleased to announce this Request for Application (RFA) “Technical support to strengthen the methodological foundation on carrying capacity assessment related to water quality management in river basins”.
