speaks at the conference.
Since 2021, the province has
carried out 97 programs, projects, and non-project projects funded by 39
donors, with a total budget of 1.072 trillion VND (approximately 39.3 million
USD). Of this, 314 billion VND has been disbursed. Among these, 66 new aid
packages were approved, totaling over 459.6 billion VND.
In response to the aftermath
of Super Typhoon Yagi, the province successfully mobilized nine emergency
relief packages from seven international non-governmental organizations,
amounting to approximately 5.9 billion VND in total relief funding.
The aid received during the
review period targeted seven key priority areas in the province’s aid
mobilisation strategy, namely education and training, healthcare, vocational
education, agriculture-forestry-fishery and rural development, social issues,
environmental protection and climate change adaptation, and cultural
development. These efforts were implemented across all nine districts and one
city of the province, with a particular focus on the Da Bac, Lac Son, and Tan Lac
districts.
The aid packages were
effectively utilized, aligning with the province’s strategic priorities. They
contributed significantly to poverty alleviation, disaster and disease
recovery, and the enhancement of social welfare. On average, NGO aid has
provided approximately 80 billion VND annually to support the province’s
socio-economic development.
Beyond socio-economic
benefits, these projects help foster stronger cooperative relationships between
local agencies, organizations, international NGOs, and development partners.
They also showcased the province’s people and culture to international
audiences.
In concluding remarks,
the Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee emphasized the
importance of enhancing coordination and information sharing with central
ministries, relevant agencies, and the Committee for Foreign NGO Affairs to
optimize aid mobilization. He urged the evaluation of outcomes to identify
shortcomings, address limitations, and propose timely solutions to resolve
challenges.
He further stressed the need
for project management agencies to strengthen their oversight and organization of NGO-funded programs and projects, ensuring their execution aligns with
approved project documents and complies with relevant legal regulations.
In the spirit of "Party members go first, the people follow”, all households of Party members in the Doan Ket sub-region in Da Bac town, Da Bac district, voluntarily removed gates and fences, and donated land when the road expansion project passed through their properties. Inspired by their example, 68 households in the sub-region quickly followed suit, contributing over 1,400 sq.m of residential and perennial cropland to widen the main road through the residential area. The exemplary role of Party members in Doan Ket stands as a shining example of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, morality, and lifestyle.
