Of which, 15 billion VND will come from the central budget and the rest from the provincial budget.
The investor is the Management Board of the province’s Rural Development and Agricultural Construction Investment Projects.
The project will build an embankment system over a total length of 500m, a pier, drainage system, trees and power supply.
It is expected to be put into use in 2020, providing stable accommodation for 242 households.
In addition, the project will help prevent flooding in Cau Ngang town and erosion along the river.
In the period 2012-18, Tra Vinh province invested about 107 billion VND (4.6 million USD) resettling people in landslide-prone areas.
More than 500 households with 2,000 people were given new accommodation, vocational training and farming training.
Provincial authorities also encouraged people to grow mangrove trees.
