The Participatory Action-Oriented Training (PAOT) is a practical method that fosters grassroots initiatives and bases on self-help voluntary actions that enable local people to implement immediate improvements in occupational health and safety and working conditions by using available local resources (manpower and materials).
Building on the experience of implementing the PAOT method for plastic reduction awareness in the “Mitigating marine plastic debris” project implemented by WWF-Viet Nam in Phu Quoc, the TVA Project adapted and adjusted the PAOT toolkit to suit the practical solid waste management in Hue City. Alongside the research and adjustment of tools, efforts were made to develop human resources for communication activities. The project also collaborated with local partners to advocate for pilot implementation of the models and establish local plastic reduction communication teams.
