HO CHI MINH CITY, Oct. 5 (Xinhua) -- An environment data center will be constructed in Vietnam's Mekong Delta to offer climate change-related information for making sustainable development plans in the region, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment said Wednesday.
Scheduled to become operational by 2022, the data center will collect, integrate, analyze and store data on natural resources and environment. It will be built on investment of nearly 14.5 million U.S. dollars, of which 13.8 million U.S. dollars will come from the World Bank's official development assistance.
The center will help the nine provinces of An Giang, Bac Lieu, Ben Tre, Ca Mau, Dong Thap, Kien Giang, Soc Trang, Tra Vinh and Vinh Long restructure agriculture, improve water resources and infrastructure systems, and develop appropriate livelihood models. Enditem
