“3RproMar” (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle to Protect the Marine Environment and Coral Reefs) is a regional technical cooperation program, jointly funded by the governments of Viet Nam and Germany, and implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). Its objective is to support the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states in the improvement of implementation capacities for reducing land-based waste leakage to protect the seas.
The 3RproMar project supports Viet Nam’s strategies by enhancing cooperation with ASEAN, developing national policies and measures against waste leakage into the sea, promoting private sector’s transition to circular economy across the value chains, and supporting Mekong localities in conducting pilot projects. The pilot is implemented in Tran De Town, Soc Trang Province in the
Mekong Delta of Viet Nam in partnership with Provincial People’s Committee and Department of Natural Resources and Environment to achieve a 20% reduction of plastic waste leakage to the marine environment.
