Work is expected to commence soon on a United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)-partly funded project for building a pilot integrated waste management model to reduce the amount of generated waste and optimise trash classification at source and recycling schemes in the districts of Ngu Hanh Son and Hoa Vang.

The project’s duration is slated to run from May 2020 to September 2022 at a total cost of nearly 3.5 billion VND.

Of this figure, over 1.5 billion VND is from the UNDP-offered non-refundable aids, whilst 480 million VND is from the Vietnamese government's reciprocal capital, and the remainder is totally worth of equipment and machines under Da Nang-approved plan for at-source waste classification promotion by 2025.
