The first phase of the VNICZM Project (2000-2003) aimed at establishing a long-term Vietnamese Integrated Coastal Zone Management Programme by focusing on advising in the planning and development of the Vietnamese coastal zone, its communities and its resources in a sustainable way.

Emphasis was on strengthening MoNRE-VEPA in Hanoi and the DoNRE's of Nam Dinh, Thua Thien - Hue and Ba Ria - Vung Tau. Tools and methodologies were developed and training in ICZM was given in Vietnam, Manila and the Netherlands.

Guidelines for Strategy and Action Planning for ICZM, including databases and GIS tools, facilitate the launch and sustainability for such long-term Vietnam ICZM Programmes in its 30 coastal provinces.
.
Following the highly appreciated first phase, currently (2003-2005) the VNICZM Project finds itself in a Bridging Phase, which among other things will strengthen institutional ICZM frameworks at provincial level, introduces ICZM at coastal district level and sets up the first national ICZM strategy document for approval by the national steering committee.
