According to the summary report of the Ministry of Finance, the total medium-term public investment capital for the 2021-2025 period for the 3 Programs is 102,000 billion VND (100,000 billion VND of domestic capital, 2,050 billion VND of foreign capital; career capital from the central budget is nearly 97,900 billion VND).

Results of the implementation of the New Rural Development Program by March 2025, the rate of communes meeting new rural standards reached 77.9% (the target for the 2021-2025 period is 80%); the rate of districts meeting new rural standards is 47.6% (the target is 50%); 6 provinces completed the task of building new rural areas (the target is 15 provinces). The Sustainable Poverty Reduction Program has achieved the targets assigned by the National Assembly and the Government: The multidimensional poverty rate by 2024 is 1.93%; the poverty rate in poor districts is 24.86%; the poverty rate of ethnic minority households is 12.55% (a decrease of 3.95%).

Of the 9 target groups of the Socio-Economic Development Program for Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas, 6 target groups have been basically completed and exceeded: Poverty reduction rate in ethnic minority areas; average income; education; vocationally trained labor; preservation and development of traditional cultural values ​​and identities; strengthening healthcare. Three target groups have not been achieved: Improving technical infrastructure and social infrastructure; reducing the number of communes and villages outside of extremely difficult areas; settling down, fundamentally solving the shortage of residential land and production land.

In 2025 alone, the total estimated budget and plan for the Central budget for the 3 Programs is more than 53,500 billion VND, of which the Prime Minister has assigned nearly 30,400 billion VND (including nearly 22,000 billion VND of public investment capital and 8,400 billion VND of regular funding). It is estimated that by the end of March 2025, localities will disburse 3,836 billion VND of central public investment capital (reaching 16%); regular funding will reach 323 billion VND (reaching 1.8%).

Regarding difficulties and limitations, Deputy Minister of Finance Do Thanh Trung said that some contents of the 3 National Target Programs do not have sufficient legal basis for implementation, especially the Program for Socio-Economic Development in Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas. Some support contents of the 2 Programs for Sustainable Poverty Reduction and Socio-Economic Development in Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas are no longer applicable or the support level is still low...

In the first months of 2025, ministries, branches and localities focused mainly on the work of perfecting and rearranging the organization and apparatus, so they did not focus on implementing and disbursing capital for the 3 National Target Programs.

Minister of Agriculture and Environment Do Duc Duy assessed that the results of achieving new rural commune standards in some socio-economic regions still have large gaps; some localities have not focused on improving the quality of criteria after achieving standards; the arrangement of organizations and apparatus has changed the implementing subjects, causing difficulties in management and synthesis. The Minister proposed integrating the two programs of new rural construction and sustainable poverty reduction into one program in the period of 2026-2030; building a national database system on national target programs to improve the effectiveness of state management...

At the meeting, in order to meet the requirements of effective, practical and urgent use of capital invested by the State, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha assigned the Ministry of Finance to work with ministries, branches and localities to synthesize and propose the allocation of investment capital and remaining regular budget for the 3 National Target Programs, especially the Socio-Economic Development Program for Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas. The Ministry of Construction discussed with the Ministry of Finance and the Bank for Social Policies to allocate capital to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses, giving priority to people with meritorious services and policy families.

The Ministry of Finance coordinates with ministries, branches and localities to review financial and budgetary mechanisms and policies according to Decision No. 1719/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister approving the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction for the 2021-2025 period to ensure sustainability, no overlap, mutual cancellation, and transparency. "Localities need to prepare well for projects under the three programs so that when funding is available, they can be implemented immediately," the Deputy Prime Minister requested.
