The five NGOs include Mines Advisory Group (MAG), World Vision International, Plan International, Zhi-Shan Foundation and Norwegian People’s Aid (NPA).
At the conference, Vice Chairman of the Quang Tri Provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Duc Chinh spoke highly of the foreign NGOs, which have actively assisted the province achieve poverty reduction, overcome the consequences of bombs and mines as well as prevent and mitigate natural disasters.
The NGOs-funded projects helped the province reduce the poverty rate from 16.11% in 2011 to 11.56% in late 2013.
Chinh acknowledged the active contributions of international organisations, embassies and NGOs in Vietnam which provided more than US$26 million for Quang Tri to develop socio-economic infrastructure and the agro-forestry-fishery industry, restructure the economy and eliminate poverty in remote and ethnic minority areas from 2011 to 2013
On the occasion, Quang Tri presented certificates of merit to four international organisations and individuals for their contributions to the province’s development.
