Thua Thien- Hue (VNA) – As many as 97 non-government organisations (NGOs) have helped the central province of Thua Thien- Hue promote socio-economic development and sustainable poverty reduction, according to a report from the provincial People’s Committee.

Some 51 projects worth nearly 13 million USD landed in the locality in ten months from January this year. Most of them were in tourism, climate change response, supporting people with disabilities, education, and healthcare, among others.

In a meeting with 31 NGOs in the province on December 15, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Dung thanked the foreign organisations for their support for the locality in the past few years.

The province will enhance cooperation with the organisations to implement more and more humanitarian activities in the locality, Dung said, pledging to examine and address difficulties during the implementation of the projects.-VNA
