Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam has requested ministries and sectorsreview insufficient ethnic policies and propose adjustments,replacements and supplementations.
Over the pastyears, ethnic policies issued by the Government have helped to improveboth material and spiritual conditions of ethnic minority groups inmountainous areas through rapid poverty reduction.
However, the poverty rate remains relatively high, noted the Deputy PM,pointing to ineffective implementation and overlapping ethnic policiesas contributing factors.
He urged the GovernmentCommittee for Ethnic Affairs to coordinate with ministries and agenciesto complete a report on major ethnic policies in terms of education,healthcare and credit access.
Meanwhile, ministriesand agencies should provide the committee with updated information onthe realisation of the policies in order to help the committee clarifyidentical and unfeasible policies and make adequate proposals, he asked.
The committee, in collaboration with ministries,should also make a list of investment priorities, requested the DeputyPM, urging active affiliation between committees and ministries indesigning, adjusting and supervising policies between 2016 and 2020.
Deputy PM Dam also directed the Ministries of Finance,and Planning and Investment to prioritise areas with a high density ofethnic minority people and difficult regions with high poverty rates inthe allocation of resources to localities.
Resourcepriorities should also be focused on impoverished communes home toethnic minority groups during the implementation of the national targetprogramme for new-style rural area building, urged the Deputy PM.-VNA
