All development projects under the Coast and Water unit are funded by the governments of Viet Nam and Germany and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). Its objective is to support the Vietnamese authorities on their path for a sustainable development of the Mekong Delta through the climate-resilient management of natural resources along the coast. These are divided into four fields of activity:
- Establish an institutional framework to facilitate regional coordination of climate-resilient development in the Mekong Delta;
- Improve investment planning at regional level for the climate-resilient and gender-sensitive management of water resources in urban and rural areas;
- Apply innovative technologies and interventions to combat coastal and riverbank erosion, thus rendering rural infrastructure and ecosystems more climate-resilient;
- Roll out climate-smart and water-sensitive urban infrastructure.
