The Project was assigned by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (now the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment) to the Vietnam Agency of Seas and Islands (VASI) to implement in collaboration with the World Wide Fund for Nature in Vietnam (WWF-Viet Nam) during the 2020–2025 period. The Project’s objective is to effectively support plastic waste management, contributing to the mitigation of marine plastic pollution and promoting the achievement of national environmental goals. The Project is designed with four key components: improving the policy framework and guiding documents; organizing communications and education to raise awareness and change consumer behavior; building the Plastic Smart City model; and enhancing plastic waste management in the fisheries sector and at three marine protected areas (Con Dao, Cu Lao Cham, Phu Quoc).
