Support policies provide leverage for ethnic people to escape poverty
The implementation of poverty reduction programme in the 2016-20 period in border provinces such as Hà Giang, Lai Châu and Lào Cai has proved the effectiveness of the government support and investment policies to reduce poverty and reach the national target programme on sustainable poverty reduction.
However, the support policies are not synchronous and there are overlaps between ministries, agencies and localities. Administrative procedures need to be simplified, helping localities to effectively implement the national target programme on sustainable poverty reduction.
