a platform to promote policy dialogues in rural water supply and
sanitation. sector.
The National Rural Clean Water Supply and Sanitation Strategy (NRWSSS)
toward 2020 was approved by the Prime Minister by Decision No. 104/QD-TTg
dated August 25th, 2000. The main tool for implementing this NRWSSS
is the National Target Program (NTP) for Rural Water Supply and
Sanitation (RWSS).
The NTP Phase I (1999-2005) was approved by the Prime Minister by
Decision No. 237/QD-TTg dated December 3rd, 1998.
The NTP Phase II (2006-2010) was approved by the Prime Minister by
Decision No. 277/QD-TTg dated December 11th, 2006.

encouraging achievements, many activities are still on their way to
becoming successful. In order to take advantage of the results of
the NTP I and to implement the strategic targets up to 2010 in
accordance with commitments to the Government, people and
international donors community, implementation of the NTP II is
needed and relevant, as agreed by various ministries, government
agencies and localities.
