YBO - At present 32 projects and programmes funded by foreign partners are being carried out in Yen Bai with total committed grant of more than 15 million USD (351 billion VND).

Vice Chairman of provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Chien Thang and leaders of departments and agencies attend a national online conference on NGO affairs in 2020.

Most projects and programmes are in the fields of socio-economic development, education-training, health care, social affairs and natural resources-environment.

In 2019, Yen Bai did well in managing the operation of foreign NGOs in the province. The organisations adhered to laws and regulations on management and use of aid.

Besides implementing aid projects, the NGOs also helped promote Yen Bai to the international community.

As of the end of 2019, more than 500 foreign NGOs were operating in Vietnam, of which 158 were from America, 152 from Asia-Pacific and 194 from Europe.

In 2020, the Committee for Foreign NGO Affairs is set to maintain management of foreign NGOs, promote the sharing of information, and enhance working efficiency of coordinating agencies as well as train personnel for the work.
