Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

The project supports an economically competitive, environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive development for Vinh Yen city (Vinh Yen), Hue city (Hue) and Ha Giang city (Ha Giang) of Viet Nam. The project cities' green and climate resilient development approaches will be scaled up for nationwide green secondary city development.

Specifically, in 2013, Asian Development Bank (ADB) started a policy dialogue with the Vietnamese government by providing a capacity development technical assistance (CDTA) to support secondary cities for balancing economic growth and environmental sustainability to guide urbanization process. Vinh Yen and Hue was selected for the technical assistance and other 3 citiesn in Ha Giang was also added in the project.

In 2014- 2015, a "_GrEEEn"_ city action plan (GCAP) for each city was completed and endorsed by the government to mainstream an integrated urban planning incorporating climate change adaptation and mitigation, prioritize investments and propose greener solutions.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF ADB

The Accountability Mechanism is an independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by an Asian Development Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Accountability Mechanism, they may investigate to assess whether the Asian Development Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can learn more about the Accountability Mechanism and how to file a complaint at: http://www.adb.org/site/accountability-mechanism/main
