OVERVIEW OF PARTNERSHIP
• Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) has over 10,000 small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
• Only 40% of enterprises submit self-monitoring report to Dept. of Natural Resources and Environment (DoNRE), many with inadequate content
• DoNRE Priority: strengthen self-monitoring and reporting program to support prompt enforcement responses in situations of non-compliance
• Focus area: industrial wastewater
• Challenge: limited human and technological resources

OBJECTIVES OF PARTNERSHIP
1. Adopt improved policies and practices on pollution self-monitoring, self-reporting and recordkeeping by piloting the improved system with 1 or 2 target industries with a focus on wastewater
2. Deploy supporting technologies for information management to enable for effective management of self-reporting data to support enforcement response
3. Build implementation capacity of DoNRE staff to collect, store, analyze and use the collected information though targeted training

ACTIVITIES: 2010
• Conducted background assessment (desk study and interviews) on legal basis for implementing self-monitoring, self-reporting, and record- keeping requirements in HCMC basis for designing the twinning partnership
• AELERT identified Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) as appropriate partner for DoNRE
• DoNRE established a “working group” comprising of representatives from the Environmental Management Division and Inspection Division
• Conducted site visits to target industrial factories to better understand needs and capabilities
