province PART 1: ORIENTATION ON GREEN GROWTH TO 2020 1.1 Context and requirements in the new period According to the socio-economic development master plan of An Giang province by 2020, the province will develop towards “Accelerating sustainable economic growth developing the economy in line with natural resources and environment protection, and climate change adaptation” The development scenario of the province by 2020 indicates that An Giang province will achieve the socioeconomic growth rate which is higher than the average rate of the region, combining industrialization of agriculture, modernization of rural areas and expansion of urbanization areas, key economic and industrial areas, and participation of the service sector In the period 2016-2020, the average economic growth of the province is aimed at 7% annually; GRDP per capital by 2020 at USD 2,266 The economy is restructured under the orientation of Commerce-Service and Industry–Construction sectors taking more shares of the economy while the share of Agriculture getting smaller The Commerce–Service is planned to account for 54.81%, while Agriculture–Forestry– Fishery decrease to 27.97% and Industry–Construction increase to 15.63% by 2020 Agricultural development aims to produce mass products, with rice and fish as strategic products, to apply science-technology (S&T) and mechanical cultivation methods, to produce high quality agriculture products Aquaculture is one of the key economic sectors, with main and strategic products such as pangasius catfish and basa catfish In the next period, the agriculture sector is required to develop sustainably, to comply with the agriculture development plan and to apply high technologies Besides, the agricultural development will be linked with solutions to water scarcity risks due to climate change and water consumption activities in the upstream of the Mekong River The development of industry and small-scale industry is planned to take place within centralized industrial zones and some other industrial or small industrial zones It is expected that industrial zones in the province will be fully developed by 2020 Key industries of the province include (1) Food and fishery processing: most of agricultural and fishery products are to be processed before entering the market; (2) Manufacturing and mechanical industry to support mostly for rice seeding, harvesting, and drying; (3) Mining and construction material industry will be enhanced in terms of modern technologies and equipment, and high quality construction materials The small-scale handicraft industry will develop to meet the demands of the tourism industry and local citizens Commerce and service will be promoted towards diversifying commercial patterns, improving infrastructure, and expending domestic and exporting markets All economic components are encouraged to participate in potential areas Markets in rural, mountainous and bordering areas will be effectively explored Tourism is expected to be a key sector of the province; the tourism sector develops towards products and forms diversification and quality improvement The province is expected to attract 6.5 million visitors by 2020 Different tourism types will be developed, including sight-seeing, leisure, ecotourism, sport, entertainment, cultural, and religious tourisms, and etc 6|GGAP Green Growth Action Plan for An Giang province In order to meet the above mentioned development targets, An Giang province has both favourable conditions and difficulties Strengths and development opportunities An Giang has geographical and socio-economic advantages It is bordered with Cambodia where, international border gates are located; and,has both strategic waterways and roadways for the whole country and the Mekong Delta An Giang province is the bridge connecting the Mekong Delta, South East Region to other countries in the region The province’s location has a comparative advantage for the provincial socio-economic development, with the potential of a linkage centre to attract development investments and resources from the Mekong Delta region as well as outside the region The GRDP growth rate and GRDP income per capital of An Giang province have been growing in recent years The economic structure has been positively changed; the agricultural structure has been developed into polyculture and diversification of products The industry of agriculture, forestry and fishery processing has been expanding in term of scale, technology innovation, contributing to promotion of commodity economy and increase in exporting values The transportation network of the province is considerably equally distributed, connecting Long Xuyen city to districts, towns and economic centres of the province Waterways, especially the waterway routes of Hau River are convenient These are favourable conditions for expanding economic exchange not only with other provinces in the Mekong Delta, but also with neighbouring countries such as Laos and Cambodia Climate conditions, soil and water resources of the province are diverse, which can contribute to the comprehensive development of the agriculture, forestry and fishery sectors In fact, An Giang province is one of key agricultural provinces, with the strength of productive and high quality food crops, fishery exploitation and aquaculture Besides, An Giang has mountainous areas with favourable conditions for the development of eco-tourism and cultural-historical tourism An Giang is located in the upstream area, bordered with Cambodia; the mountainous topography allows the development and growth of watershed forests which contribute to GHG emission reduction, environmental protection and climate change adaptation The labour force is young and diverse If they are well-trained, they will be the driver for the development of the province In summary, the above mentioned strengths will bring the opportunity for the province to sustainably develop its agriculture and tourism sectors which get significant attention at national and regional levels Through the promotion and development of commerce, transportation and logistics and other relevant sectors, the province will enhance the integration with other provinces and other countries Limitations and challenges The provincial economic structure is modest, with a large proportion of the Agriculture – Forestry – Aquaculture sector Most of the local people work in the agriculture sector, with low productivity and limited skills, which creates small added values The agricultural and rural economy is impetuous and unsustainable The province’s economy largely depends on the agriculture sector, meanwhile key 7|GGAP Green Growth Action Plan for An Giang province products of the province such as agriculture, forestry and fishery products are facing with difficulties of competition from domestic and international markets The industry sector contributes inconsiderably to the economic structure, mostly from the agricultural products processing industry The applied technologies are backward Industrial zones and industrial clusters are invested slowly, which suspends the industrial growth rate The province’s infrastructure is limited and asynchronous, especially the roadways The traffic capacity of roadways is lower than the national average The internal connection capacity of the provincial roadway is not high Particularly, the connection capacity between key economic zones and remote areas is limited The business and investment environment has not been improved; low competitive capacity is the barrier for attracting investments in An Giang province The competitive capacity indicators including market entry cost, land access, private business support service, time cost for administration procedures in An Giang province rank low The rate of trained labourers in the province is low; the number of skilled workers with high profession is insignificant Therefore, An Giang province has to face with the shortage of human resources to meet the provincial demands of “green and clean” development The professional training system of the province is limited, with inadequate training contents and quality The existing training system has not met the demand of high quality human resources for key economies, especially for the clean energy sector and the tourism industry The province’s natural conditions have not been well explored to develop key economic sectors Both natural and social conditions have not been promoted to support the development of the tourism industry, despite it is identified as one of the key economic sectors of the province Different types of renewable energy such as biomass electricity and solar power have not fully developed according to their potentials As a province is greatly affected by severe events of climate change such flood, salt intrusion and landslide, however, climate change resilience in the province is limited Therefore, natural disasters are still great threats to economic growth and sustainable development of the province Intellectual level and awareness on environmental protection and natural resources of a majority of local people are low; the force of technical staffs and environmental managers are in shortage of quality and quantity The awareness and participation of the non-state economic sectors in green growth is limited 1.2 Requirements to improve competitiveness, resource efficiency, green growth, climate change response and sustainable development According to the provincial socio-economic development master plan by 2020, the province will develop from the current state to an economy with a medium socio-economic growth rate in the region, comprehensively develop the economic infrastructure, culture-society, and education-training, gradually enhance local people living conditions, promote global integration, and strengthen development linkages, especially with other provinces in the Mekong Delta and the Southern key economic region 8|GGAP Green Growth Action Plan for An Giang province Apart from efforts of promoting the development of different economic sectors, in order to achieve the expected goals, it is essential for the province to improve its competitiveness, resource efficiency and climate change resilience, including: Economically, the development of different economic sectors needs to be closely collaborated with Green Growth (GG) activities, clean and renewable energy development, sustainable production and consumption, and sustainable agriculture and rural development Economic activities should be developed towards cleaner production, reduction of GHG emission, and mitigation of environmental impacts The application of modern technology is a vital requirement to reduce energy and resource consumption, and pollution Agriculture development with the application of high technology and environmental friendly technology will ensure the development of An Giang province towards the mass and high quality agriculture production Socially, it is necessary to concentrate on social progress and equity; hunger eradication and poverty reduction; stabilise the population in terms of scale and quality improvement; sustainable development (SD) of urban areas, new rural construction, appropriately distribute the population and the labour according to regions; improve education and training quality so as to improve awareness and professional quality to meet the development requirements of the nation, the region and the province Regarding the management of resources, environment and climate change response, the province needs to properly exploit and economically and sustainably use land resources, prevent soil degradation; protect and sustainably use water resources; protect and expand forest cover; reduce air pollution and water pollution in large urban areas and industrial zones; ensure effective management mechanisms of wastes, particularly solid waste and wastewater, improve awareness and participation of stakeholders in environmental protection and green growth activities Regarding the completion of institutional framework for sustainable development and green growth, in order to promote the implementation of green growth, in the near future, the institutional and policy framework on GG and SD needs to be completed to integrate GG and SD goals into strategies, action plans and master plans at the national, regional and local levels; it is necessary to promote education, propagation, and awareness raising on GG and SD, to train and enhance the management capability on GG and SD for managers at enterprises, political- socialprofessional associations and communities 1.3 Goals and orientations of the Green Growth Action Plan in the period 2016 2020 1.3.1 Vision Green growth plays an important role in the orientation towards rapid and sustainable socioeconomic development of An Giang province, which is the provincial commitment to implement the National Strategy on Green Growth and Climate Change Response Green growth is in line with the economic growth transformation and restructuring towards effectively exploiting provincial potentials and comparative advantages, promoting economic integration, enhancing the connection to other provinces in the Mekong region and other regions and provinces in the country 9|GGAP Green Growth Action Plan for An Giang province Green growth is implemented on the basis of extensive investment on conservation, development and effective consumption of natural resources, GHG emission reduction, environmental quality improvement, which will eventually boost the economic growth Green growth is implemented by human and for human, contributing to job creation, hunger eradication, poverty reduction, livelihoods improvement, both in emotional and physical aspects, environmental friendly lifestyle encouragement and sustainable consumption Green growth is developed to be suitable for the socio-economic development orientations of the province, the region and the country, being in line with strategies, development master plans of relevant sectors Green growth activities ensure the combination of immediate requirements and long-term benefits, prepare specific and proper steps with breakthroughs and identify priorities, which can be adjustable to be suitable for new situation and context, taking into consideration of the interdisciplinary and interregional connections, meeting the demand of experience sharing within the province and at the national level In the provincial GGAP, the role of stakeholders including government agencies, social and civil associations, and communities are identified 1.3.2 General objectives The general objectives are to effectively implement the National Strategy on Green Growth and to promote a rapid and sustainable economic growth, particularly developing key economic sectors to be greener, towards the low carbon economy, increasing GHG absorption, energy and resource efficiency, and enriching national capitals The construction of infrastructure is synchronous and gradually modernized The environmental quality, living standards and landscape quality are improved, aiming at environmental friendly lifestyles and enhancing climate change adaptation 1.3.3 Specific targets GHG emission reduction by 2020 Reducing the GHG emission intensity by 16.7% compared to the BAU scenario, in which the voluntary emission reduction is 10.4%, and the remaining emission reduction will be achieved with further national and international supports Greening the production Establishing and developing the “green economy” structure on the basis of promoting economic sectors to apply modern technologies and to create substantial added values, to use land and water resources more effectively, and to adapt to climate change Transforming the economic structure of the province to increase the share of the Industry – Service sector, decrease the composition of the Agriculture sector, while ensuring that the Agriculture is still the key economic sector, to green the existing sectors and encourage the development of economic sectors that promote energy and resource efficiency and conservation and create high added values It is planned that by 2020: 10 | G G A P Green Growth Action Plan for An Giang province 3.3.3 Forestry sector Forestry sector has identified three solutions to enhance the carbon

methane from the controlled solid waste anaerobic digestion system Figure 5: MACC of waste management sector in An Giang by 2020 74 | G G A P Green Growth Action Plan for An Giang province From the above analysis, total GHG emission reduction could be achieved in four sectors: Energy, Agriculture, Forestry and Waste Management, which is 1.41 million tCO2, accounting for 16.7% of the total emission of BAU scenario if GGAP is not implemented Regarding GHG emission scenario, there are two scenarios to be considered In the low scenario, the province will put the priority on most of the GHG emission reduction solutions whose emission reduction costs are negative and which does not require a lot of expenditures, and some solutions of planting and protecting natural forests In this case, the total GHG emission reduction is expected to be 863.5 thousand tCO2 (17 solutions), being equivalent to 10.4% of total emission of the BAU scenario (BAU-2020) In the high scenario, solutions with positive emission reduction costs and high investment costs (forest planting and renewable power) In this case, 520.2 thousand tCO2 of GHG emission reduction will be added (with the implementation of 16 supplementary solutions), accounting for the investments in renewable energy and high efficient energy applications in residential sector The two following scenarios are considered in the GGAP of An Giang province, which are summarized in Table Table 7: GHG emission reduction scenario in GGAP of An Giang province Scenario Description Total emission reduction (million tCO2) Voluntary emission
