Particularly, since 2016, provincial Fund for the Poor and its branches have received more than VND21billion from organizations and individuals…
Addressing the conference, Mr.Hung instructed provincial Steering Board for Poverty Reduction and its branches to recheck a list of poor and near-poor households in order to make policies for them; mobilize resources to help the poor get access to preferential policies and actively create jobs for them to rise up out of poverty.
On this occasion, provincial People’s Committee awarded the certificates of merit to 10 collectives, 20 individuals with excellent achievements in the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction for the period of 2016 to 2018.
