The project called “Support for reduction of multi-dimensional poverty in urban areas” with an outlay of VND8.17 billion (US$366,300) is funded by the United Nations Development Programme.
It will monitor and analyse multi-dimensional poverty in urban areas, especially poverty among migrants and labourers in the informal sector, on a regular basis to provide inputs for development and implementation of poverty reduction policies and programmes and socio-economic development in the city.
Multi-dimensional poverty issues, particularly poverty among migrants and labourers in the informal sector, will be addressed in the city through creative and effective poverty alleviation and socio-economic policies based on accurate and transparent inputs.
