The Australian Water Partnership (AWP) supports MONRE by funding Australian and Vietnamese experts in water law and policy to advise MONRE on proposed and potential further legislative amendments and related policy options. AWP Partner Aither (now as Ricardo) led this work, collaborating with consortium partners EMM Consulting, Alluvium and Richard Dennis. The team included leading Vietnamese practitioners in water management, economics and policy, who worked alongside MONRE colleagues on a daily basis.
