Dear EMWGers,

In 2015, the EMWG has supported Committee for Ethnic Minorities' Affairs (CEMA) to develop a particular program on socio - economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas, period between 2016 – 2020. The Draft of the particular program was submitted to the Prime Minister by the end of June 2015 and is awaiting for his approval. A report on results of the consultation process amongst relevant partners was made as a source of reference information for the development process of ethnic minority policies in the future. It is available in Vietnamese only. Please download the full report in the attachment.
