The USAID Reducing Pollution activity is a five-year project that supports locally-driven initiatives that substantially reduce environmental pollution in Vietnam through a collective impact approach. The project will build the capacity of government, local nongovernmental organizations and private sector partners to prevent, mitigate and reduce environmental pollution, and increase the capacity of stakeholders to generate, share, and use pollution data to design and implement policy solutions to pollution challenges. The Reducing Pollution activity incorporates lessons learned by Winrock and partners through implementation of USAID’s successful Vietnam Forests and Deltas activity, which fostered strong community partnerships and collaboration with government to expand protection of forests and to support Vietnam’s transition to resilient, sustainable development.
