Government policies for media support to poor, ethnic minority groups

1/5/19

The Prime Minister recently issued a decision on the application of policies to provide media support to poor households and ethnic minority groups in mountainous, border and sea areas.

Under Decision 467/QD-TTG, the State will provide audio-video equipment to poor and near-poor households. The equipment includes radio receivers, TV sets and digital TV receivers to poor and near-poor households throughout the country within a plan to 2020 approved by the Prime Minister.

Elderly, village heads, religious officials in especially poor villages will get radio with AM, FM and SM bands on a pilot basis. Besides, subsidies will be provided to poor and near-poor households using telephone lines.

The decision also states that free provision of a number of newspapers and magazines will be made for authorities and mass organisations belonging to ethnic minority groups in mountainous areas.

Moreover, communications work on poverty mitigation, legal knowledge and specific contents suitable to the target groups will also be strengthened./.

Vietnam has a large number of policies and programs specifically designed to assist ethnic minority development. These programs and policies have paid attention to a wide range of socio-economic issues related to ethnic minority development and are targeted in different ways.

Over time, as economic growth raises living standards throughout Vietnam, a shift away from location based targeting, to policies and programs in
which the ethnic minorities and other poor groups are specifically targeted is occurring.

International experience also suggests that pursing coordinated and integrated actions across a number of sectors is necessary to reverse ethnic minority disadvantage. Advocacy organisations, forums and NGOs run for and by indigenous minority groups have been important in enforcing legislation and breaking down cultural and attitudinal barriers among majority groups.
