6:56 PM, Mon March 09, 2026

Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Nguyen Manh Quyen has signed Decision No. 1001/QD-UBND dated March 9, 2026, approving the project document for "Promoting disability inclusion in water resource governance and climate change adaptation in Vietnam." The project is funded by Stichting Oxfam NOVIB, a Netherlands-based organization, and implemented by the Hanoi Association of Persons with Disabilities.

The project, led by the Hanoi Association of Persons with Disabilities, aims to strengthen the capacity of persons with disabilities in Vietnam to participate meaningfully in water resource governance and climate change adaptation. Through this effort, the project will contribute to the broader outcomes of Vietnam's water governance program.

Expected project outcomes

    1. About 40 persons with disabilities will receive training to improve their knowledge and capacity to integrate disability issues into water resource governance and climate change adaptation. 
    2. Around 40 women with disabilities will participate in at least three workshops and information-sharing programs to exchange experiences and practices that support women with disabilities and persons with disabilities in general. 
    3. At least three communication products, including one photo storytelling contest, on disability inclusion in water governance and climate change adaptation programs will be produced and shared with the community and relevant stakeholders. 
    4. One full report and one summary report on a study assessing the impacts of climate change on the livelihoods of women with disabilities will be completed and disseminated to relevant agencies and organizations. 
    5. Approximately 1,000 people, including persons with disabilities and community members, will be reached through project activities and communication products, helping improve public understanding of disability-related issues.

The project will run from the date of approval through December 31, 2028. The total project budget is VND1,498,937,550 (US$58,800), funded through non-refundable aid.

The Hanoi Association of Persons with Disabilities is responsible for ensuring the accuracy and legality of the project's aid application documents. The association will receive and implement the aid project in line with its assigned functions and responsibilities, ensuring quality, effectiveness, safety, and proper beneficiary targeting.

The organization must also ensure political security and social order in the implementation area and comply with all relevant regulations of the State and the City. It will be responsible for preventing losses, waste, corruption, and violations within the scope of project management and implementation.
