[Ngo Climate Change] Your interest in joint INGO statement as input into Mekong Delta Plan?

Tue May 13 12:14:07 BST 2014

Dear Southern-CCWG colleagues,

One month ago we had a very interesting technical meeting on the Mekong
Delta Plan. During that meeting the idea was raised of developing a joint
statement among INGOs and other S-CCWG member organisations to collectively
show our interest in the Plan and make some recommendations on how we see
the Plan and accompanying process improved.

I'm sending this email to see which organisations are interested to
contribute and have a bit of time in the coming weeks to work on such a
brief statement. Please reply to this email address only the latest by
Monday 19th May and based on the interest I will send a follow-up email. The
actual statement will be shared with the wider group later.

Hope to receive a lot of response,

Best regards,

Subject: Southern CCWG technical meeting: The Mekong Delta Plan - Friday 11
April

Dear S-CCWG members

Please find below, and attached, the announcement for the next technical
meeting of the S-CCWG in HCMC. My apologies for the changing date for the
meeting, but hopefully this is now fixed.

Please confirm with me by Friday 4 April if you would like to participate in
the meeting so that I can make sure we have a suitably sized venue. I am
looking for someone to volunteer a venue in HCMC since IUCN's meeting room
will be far too small. And please come prepared, having read the MDP and
with questions.

Look forward to seeing you all at the meeting.

Cheers

Andrew

Southern-Climate Change Working Group (S-CCWG) technical meeting

Planning for Climate Change: The Mekong Delta Plan (MDP)

Friday, 11 April 2014 

Venue: Looking for someone to volunteer a venue in HCMC

Time: 8:30 - 11:30

Convener: Andrew Wyatt, IUCN

Presenter: Martijn van de Groep, Chief Technical Advisor for the MDP

Purpose of the meeting:

MDP Chief Technical Advisor, Martijn van de Groep, will take participants
through the key proposals in the MDP including the 4 economic development
scenarios, 10 proposed measures, and proposed institutional arrangements.
Questions and debate on the MDP will be welcome. Martijn will also inform
participants on what is being planned for a June conference on the MDP.

Background on the MDP

In 2010, the Prime Ministers of Viet Nam and the Netherlands agreed to
support the preparation of the Mekong Delta Plan (MDP); a 100-year vision
for the Mekong Delta. The MDP was modelled on a plan that was prepared for
the Rhine-Meuse-Scheld Delta in the Netherlands in 2008. 

Under the Vietnam-Netherlands Strategic Partnership Arrangement on Climate
Adaptation and Water Management, work on the MDP in Vietnam began in early
2012. The Vietnamese partners were MONRE and MARD, and the initiative was
coordinated by Department of Water Resources Management in MONRE. A Dutch
led consortium including the Dutch government, Royal Haskoning DHV
(consortium lead), Wageningen University, Deltares, Rebel Group, and
Water.NL provided technical assistance and drafted up the MDP.

Since 2012, several draft MDPs went through several public consultations.
The first was held in Tien Giang in December 2012, and others were conducted
in September (farmer focus groups, selected experts and provincial leaders +
SWSC) and December 2013 (leaders from all 13 Provinces) which were supported
by IUCN. 

The final report of the MDP was presented to the Deputy Prime Minister of
Vietnam, Hoang Trung Hai, on 16 Dec 2013, in Hanoi.

A June 2014 conference to expose the MDP to a broader audience is being
planned and where key pipeline development projects are to be tested against
the no-regret principles espoused by the MDP. Key donors have supported
no-regret principles outlined in the MDP, and raised important questions for
the government to consider such as questioning the wisdom of pursuing a food
security policy based on rice intensification, and viewing increasing
salinity as an opportunity rather than as an enemy (see attached Joint
Development Partners Statement).

A copy of the Mekong Delta Plan for review can be found at this webpage
http://www.mekongdeltaplan.com/

It will be expected that participants come to the technical meeting having
read the MDP so that they can engage in the discussion and debate.
