Binh Phuoc province striving to support over 1,000 poor ethnic minority households
Binh Phuoc (VNA) – The provincial People’s Committee in the southern province of Binh
Phuoc has approved funding of 120.6 billion VND (5.14 million USD) this year to
support over 1,000 ethnic minority households to get out of poverty.
Accordingly, poor households of ethnic groups
will receive support in housing, job creation, breeds, and farming tools for
production development.
The committee asked units and localities to focus on mobilising resources
to implement policies and projects, contributing to a fast and sustainable
poverty reduction for poor ethnic minority households.
Binh Phuoc province
has three border districts - Loc Ninh, Bu Gia Map, and Bu Dop - with a borderline
of more than 260km, a population of more than 1 million people, about 20% of them from ethnic groups.
In 2019, the province
started implementing a plan to reduce 1,000 poor ethnic minority households
each year. Between 2019 and 2022, it supported more than 5,000 poor
ethnic minority households to escape from poverty./.
