The objective of the Dam Rehabilitation and Safety Improvement Project for Vietnam is to improve the safety of targeted dams under the Government’s Dam Safety Program to protect downstream communities and economic activities through priority investments and capacity enhancement. There are three components to the project, the first component being dam safety rehabilitation. This component will be implemented through MARD and the provinces with the aim of improving the safety of irrigation dams through physical rehabilitation of existing infrastructure. The implementation includes two different approaches required for the rehabilitation of small community-managed and large dams. The difference between the two approaches relates not only to the types of works and the regulatory framework involved, but also the institutional and implementation arrangements required to undertake such works and ensure their sustainable operations and maintenance. The second component is the dam safety management and planning. This component will be implemented through MARD, MOIT and MONRE with the aim of improving the planning and operational framework for dam management to safeguard the downstream communities and socio-economic infrastructure. Finally, the third component is the project management support.
