 The project “Support to the implementation of the Resolution 80/NQ-CP on directions of sustainable poverty reduction (2011-2020) and the National Targeted Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction (2012-2016)",  supported by UNDP with  cost-sharing from Irish Aid, provides technical assistance to the Ministry of Labour-Invalids and Social Affairs, line ministries, sectors and selected provinces for implementation of the GOVN Resolution 80/NQ-CP on directions of sustainable poverty reduction 2011-2020 and the National Targeted Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction 2012-2016. Its contributions to the GOVN’s target of accelerated poverty reduction in the poorest ethnic minority, mountainous and coastal areas and primarily to the One Plan output 1.1.3 and outcome 1.1. will be realized through the achievement of outputs targets (i) Poverty reduction policies under the responsibility of line ministries are streamlined, and poverty reduction is mainstreamed into line ministries’ plans and policies; (ii) National Targeted Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction (NTP-SPR) is designed and implemented effectively, contributing to rapid poverty reduction in poorest districts, communes and villages and of ethnic minority people through the application of innovative modalities and approaches; (iii) System for monitoring and analysis of multi-dimensional poverty and vulnerability and high level policy dialogues on poverty and vulnerability contribute to inclusive, equitable and pro-poor development outcomes.

In 2008, the Government promulgated Resolution 30a/2008/NQ-CP dated 12/27/2008 on support to Rapid and Sustainable Poverty Reduction in 61 poorest districts. For the implementation of The Master Plan 30a on Rapid and Sustainable Poverty Reduction, all localities have to mobilize, manage and use various budget sources (including support from business sector). In order to provide a guideline on managing and using all budget sources efficiently, for the objectives and in accordance with current provisions, Ministry of Planning and Investment and Ministry of Finance promulgated Join Circular No.10/2009/TTLT-BKH-BTC dated 10/30/2009 on the integration of budget sources for Rapid and Sustainable Poverty Reduction in poor districts under Resolution 30a/2008/NQ-CP dated 12/27/2008. This guideline helped all localities better the integration of all budget sources in their areas, thus better the implementation of the program. However, it is necessary to make adjustments and  supplementation to this Join Circular after 4 years of implementing.

Accordingly, PRPP Project will recruit an independent consultant team (including two national consultants) for revision in the integration and the use of resources for Master Plan 30a on rapid and sustainable poverty reduction in the poorest districts (Joint Circular No. 10/2009/TTLT-BKH-BTC dated 10/30/2009).
