A consultation workshop was held in Hanoi on March 18 to discuss the building of guidance for implementing the national target programme on sustainable poverty reduction in 2021 - 2025.
The central city of Da Nang basically fulfilled poverty elimination objectives by the end of 2015, accomplishing the targets set for 2013-2017 two years ahead of schedule.
Vietnam has taken the lead in applying a multidimensional poverty measurement approach in Asia, which is part of efforts to realise its commitments to eradicating poverty in all forms.
