The poverty rate in areas inhabited by ethnic minority groups dropped to 26.7 percent in 2009 as a result of effective projects known as Decision 134 and Programme 135.

At a conference held in Hanoi on January 20, the Committee for Ethnic Affairs reported that under Decision 134, more than 87,820 ethnic households received land for housing and 237,715 others received land for production last year. New houses were built for nearly 337,600 households and 6,040 water works were built for hundreds of thousands of families in disadvantaged areas.

The second phase of the socio-economic development programme for ethnic minorities and mountainous commune under Programme 135, has poured more than 3.7 trillion VND into infrastructure in 3,149 poor villages.

Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Sinh Hung affirmed the Party and State’s special attention to improving ethnic people’s living conditions and emphasized the need to increase the officials’ capacity for working on ethnic affairs in line with the Party’s policies.

Deputy PM Hung said one of the important tasks for the Committee for Ethnic Affairs this year is to organise the first national congress of representatives from Vietnam’s ethnic minorities.

He asked the committee to devise socio-economic development policies, including human resources schemes, for ethnic-inhabited and mountainous areas during the 2011-2015 period and orientation for 2020.
