That is the key issue raised in a recent meeting between Binh Dinh People’s Committee and a delegation of the Committee for Foreign NGO Affairs (COMINGO) led by Mr. Le Trung Hieu, probationary Deputy Director of People’s Aid Coordination Committee (PACCOM), an organization of Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations (VUFO).

With introduction of the COMINGO, many NGOs has invested project and non-project aids in Binh Dinh.

In 2009, Binh Dinh got 28 aid projects with total disbursement of more than 1.9 million USD. In 2010, the province got 26 projects with total disbursement of nearly 296.000 USD. Yet, the aid projects to Binh Dinh have low budgets and mainly focus on training activities.

At the meeting, representatives from relevant agencies and organizations in Binh Dinh proposed initiatives to enhance efficiency of the NGOs’ operation all over the province, including priority for the disabled people, more attention to women in disaster-prone areas, provision of communication means for localities in remote areas, repair or new establishment of medical facilities at commune level, etc. Meanwhile, information channels among the COMINGO and beneficiaries of the aid programmes should be increased.

In her speech to close the meeting, Vice Chairwoman of Binh Dinh People’s Committee Tran Thi Thu Ha highly appreciated help of the COMINGO in the past and expected the COMINGO would offer more information about the NGOs so that the provincial agencies could make feasibility studies and call for more aid, improve its social security policy.
