The Luxembourg-funded project on rural development has benefited
local people in Quang Dien district of the central province of Thua
Thien-Hue.
The project has a total capital of 4.75 million
USD, of which 4 million USD provided by the Luxembourg government
and the rest is shouldered by the province.
Starting in July
2007, the project has helped improve plan-making capacity, budget
management and administrative reform of the local administration. As a
result, over 6,000 local people were provided with plan-making skills,
while 40 roads, one pump station and 21 schools were built.
The Luxembourg government and Thua Thien-Hue province have agreed to
extend the project until the end of June next year instead of Dec. 31,
2011 as scheduled./.
