Although we are working on the project of building environmental action groups, we are rethinking and reconsidering our risk management strategy. We think that making some small changes while carrying out the project (putting the project plan into action/practice) is acceptable because that can help project implementers make the project suites to the practice. This is also because there is always a gap between theory and practice!
Basically, we are establishing environmental action groups in order to deal with environmental problems in Hue city such as rubbish, sewage and disordering advertisement boards on the streets of Hue city. There are three main risks which may occur during implementing the project. They are excessive time necessary for building the groups, Lose of collaboration and cooperation between HRED, HTD, and HEUWC, and barrier of previous regulations of local authority.
When developing the project plan, we have decided these kinds of risks and developed a strategy on order to manage them, but we really do not know about corrective responses which is very important to reach long-term development as well as achieving sustainable development . We have developed the risk management framework as following:
| Risks | Preventive responses | Developmental responses | Corrective responses |
| Excessive time necessary for building the groups | Using seasoned community development workers(CDWs) | Training CDWs | |
| Lose of collaboration and cooperation between HRED, HTD, and HEUWC | Working with these institution employers and get an agreement before doing the project | Partnering with youth unions and women unions at these institutions | |
| Barrier of previous regulations of local authority | Gaining an agreement from local authorities before doing the project | Workshops on environmental issues | |
- HRED is Hue Resources and Environment Department
- HTD is Hue Transportation Department
- Hue Environment and Urban Work Company
If anyone has experiences in this field, please give us some advice (directive advice or refer to some readings is valuable). If you need more specific information before giving advice, please let me know.
Thanks so much in advance,
Hung

Regarding to establishing environmental action groups, I think that funding is one of the most important matter which should be re-considered carefully before implementing the project. The reality shows that some development groups failed to implementing activities due to the lack of funding or the withdrawal of funding organization. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the funding for the project's activities in long-term.
