Up to 48 trillion VND of which will be from the central budget, over 12.69 trillion VND from local budget and the remaining from other sources.
According to the resolution, a steering committee will be set up to take charge of the national target programmes on sustainable poverty reduction for the 2021-2025 period, new rural development for the 2021-2025 period, and socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas for the 2021-2030 period at both central and local level.
Each year, the Government must report the outcomes of such programmes to the legislature’s late-year meeting. It was assigned to review the 2021-2025 programmes in 2025 and submit the 2026-2030 programmes to the legislature for consideration.
The Prime Minister was required to decide on investment in the programmes in line with the Law on Public Investment, and establish the steering committee led by a Deputy PM.
The Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs will oversee the national target programme on sustainable poverty reduction for the 2021-2025 period. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development will monitor the national target programme on new rural development for the 2021-2025 period while the NA’s Committee for Ethnic Affairs will take over the national target programme on socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas for the 2021-2030 period.
Other ministries and agencies concerned will be members of the steering committee.
The NA asked the provincial-level People’s Councils and People’s Committees to build their own plans, pool resources for the effort, and prevent overlapping among programmes.
Each year, the provincial-level People’s Commitees must report the outcomes of the programmes to the provincial-level People’s Councils and the Government./.

The Resolution will be the guidelines for the next period of poverty reduction in Vietnam
Việt Nam sets an example in poverty reduction
Việt Nam is expected to lower its national average poverty rate from 58.1 per cent in 1993 to 2.75 per cent by the end of 2021, becoming a role model in the world in poverty reduction and hunger elimination
Việt Nam is among 30 countries applying multidimensional poverty reduction criteria which include income, access to basic social services like healthcare, education, housing, clean water, hygiene and information.
In 2016-20, the country has mobilised VNĐ93 trillion (US$4.1 billion) for the national target programme on sustainable poverty reduction.
Poverty reduction is a social and humanitarian task of top importance. This is also an important socialist orientation of Việt Nam under the leadership of the Party
unsustainable poverty reduction in many places, widening gaps between the rich and the poor as well as the risk of poverty relapse, especially in mountainous remote areas, ethnic minority areas and regions frequently hard-hit by natural disasters are the challenges that Vietnam has to face
one of the most important solutions to reduce poverty is to invest in infrastructure, create trade connections, education and job opportunities.
more attention must be paid to children, the elderly and ethnic minority communities to ensure no one is left behind
to solve poverty, it is necessary to start from production, business to create employment. Service agriculture development should be given priority, especially programmes focused on low-income areas
