Of the sum, USD750,000 will be used to reinforce 25km of sea dykes, USD450,000 to build a 30km fence to keep mud for forest plantation and prevent coastal erosion.
The remaining money will be spent on restoring and developing 100 ha of coastal mangroves.
The total amount of funding will be mobilized from international organizations and the government budget for reinforcing the sea dyke system stretching from Quang Ngai to Kien Giang province.
According GIZ experts, it is urgent to help the coastal areas of Kien Giang province adapt to climate change in a sustainable manner.
Kien Giang has a coastline of 200km and large mangrove forests which make up 74 percent of coastal areas. But more than half of sea dykes have been damaged in recent years.
