Power of Two: Boosting Performance through Twinning
Asian Development Bank | April 2010
Abstract
Hai Phong is a bustling Viet Nam port city of more than 1 million people, located near the world-renowned Ha Long Bay. Just some 900 kilometers away is Da Nang, another growing city often remembered for its sweeping bay, China Beach, and nearby Marble Mountain. Hai Phong and Da Nang share a significant challenge—providing quality, reliable drinking water to their communities in the most economical and efficient way possible. However, Hai Phong is more successful at this than Da Nang. Thus, in May 2008, Hai Phong committed to help Da Nang with its drinking water services under a twinning program initiated by the Asian Development Bank (ADB)

The lake swells and fish, reptiles, birds, mammals, and plants thrive on this reverse hydrology. The Tonle Sap Basin Strategy promotes an approach that conserves nature and offers ...The Tonle Sap is a natural phenomenon.
