INGOs make contributions to Thua Thien-Hue development
The
assessment was given during an October 31 conference on the mobilisation
and management of aid from NGOs in the province.
Ngo Huy Hoa, Vice Standing Chairman of the Thua Thien-Hue People’s
Committee, said assistance comes to the locality in the form of
sponsored programmes, projects and emergency aid.
Over the past years, projects funded by foreign NGOs have timely met the
needs of the beneficiary localities and communities, while involving
more local staff, he said.
The projects also helped
Thua Thien-Hue in a wide range of areas including healthcare, education,
culture, agro-forestry, environmental protection, infrastructure, and
agricultural and rural development, with many new and effective
production models and methods, he said.
Hoa noted
that the management and disbursement of assistance has been effectively
implemented in all localities in the province, while cooperation
efficiency between the NGOs and the locality has been facilitated.
So far, as many as 130 foreign NGOs are operating in Thua Thien-Hue.
In the 2003-2013 period, the organisations provided the locality a total
of 75.7 million USD in assistance. In the first nine months of this
year alone, aid from foreign NGOs hit 900,000 USD.
The foreign NGOs have also carried out practical activities in the
province, especially in humanitarian assistance, healthcare, education,
culture and environmental protection.-VNA
