The projects will be conducted by the Institute Pasteur in Ho Chi Minh City, VinaCapitalFoundation (VCF), the Institute of energy science, the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, and the Vietnam Cleaner Product Center.

Once completed, the funded projects will contribute sizably to the training and career development for 100 small and medium-sized businesses, and 108 teachers and 797 officials in the health and environment fields.

The latest technology in education and training, including online learning support and mobile software solutions, will be used in these projects.
