Practical measures for multidimensional poverty reduction
Domestic and international experts gathered at a September 14 seminar in Hanoi to discuss practical, sustainable initiatives for poverty reduction.
The seminar, hosted by the National Assembly’s (NA) Social Affairs Committee and the United Nations Development Programme, offered NA deputies, ministry leaders, and relevant agencies proposed multidimensional approaches to setting poverty reduction targets and drafting social welfare policies in the new era.
Participants listened to Mexican and Brazilian experts share their insights from past experience.
They analyzed and evaluated the implementation of Vietnam’s current poverty reduction legislation and policies. The draft will be submitted for the NA’s consideration during its seventh session.
Participants praised Party and State efforts to harness a variety of resources in the fight against poverty and boost socioeconomic development, particularly in rural and mountainous areas.
The delegates also acknowledged the significant community contributions to implementing poverty reduction progammes, enabling the completion of the NA’s set targets.
They stressed the importance of ensuring remote areas and society’s most vulnerable are not left behind as economic growth surges.
The Prime Minister has asked the Ministry of Labour, Invalids, and Social Affairs (MoLISA) to draw up an overall poverty reduction and living standard improvement plan.
It will be submitted for Prime Ministerial approval by 2014 after first passing the scrutiny of the national steering board on poverty reduction.
The MoLISA will prepare the policies and programmes for poverty reduction over 2016–2020 as part of its 2015 responsibilities.
