Over the years, the mobilization of assistance from foreign NGOs in the province has been implemented in line with the law and directing documents of the Party and Government.

In the 2015-2019 period, the province launched 134 programmes and projects funded by 50 foreign NGOs and international cooperation agencies, with total committed investment of over 28.5 million USD. They comprised 117 programmes and projects funded by NGOs worth 28.2 million USD, and 17 non-project aid packages valued at 386,235 USD.

Among the 134 programmes and projects, 102 were under the management of the provincial People’s Committee, and 32 others by central agencies. Total disbursement in the 2014-2019 period reached 14.3 million USD, including 14.1 million USD for foreign NGO-funded projects.

Although the value of foreign NGO-funded projects is not high, the projects have proved high efficiency in enhancing the living conditions of locals in localities with difficult socio-economic conditions thanks to their direct approach to the people and essential sectors such as education, health care, clean water, environmental sanitation, livelihood, gender equality and children’s rights, as well as social matters.

Foreign NGOs have operated in line with orientations. The province has issued publications and programmes to provide information on foreign NGOs’ operation in the locality, as well as the province’s needs and prioritized sectors, thus helping foreign NGO update themselves during the process of surveying, designing and making project’s documents as well as during the projects’ implementation, thus improving the living conditions of locals in project sites, while contributing to strengthening and expanding the friendship and cooperation between the province and foreign friends./.
