A Japanese-funded project on enhancing human resource capacity for the
water sector in Vietnam ’s central region has been a success, the
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) said at a review
conference on May 28.
The three-year project starting in August
2010 targeted 18 water companies in the central region with the aim of
helping them ensure safe and stable water supply.
The project’s
major partner, a training centre in Hue city, has been provided with
adequate skills and equipment to develop short-term training courses
for local water companies.
In addition, the project organised
training trips and seminars in Japan for the target companies’
leaders to increase their awareness of the importance of human resource
development.
Accordingly, five leading companies have completed
theirs plans of safe water supply, human resource development and
operation manuals.
The training centre in Hue also succeeded
in building a cooperation model with Thua Thien-Hue Water Supply and
Construction Company (HUEWACO), which will be maintained and expanded
after the project ends.
JICA has worked with Vietnam ’s water sector for almost 10 years supporting, particularly in human resource development.-VNA
