ODA helps Lao Cai reduce poverty

The northern mountainous province of Lao Cai has effectively utilised official development assistance (ODA) to reduce its annual poverty rate by nearly 8% over the years.

The ODA projects management board of Lao Cai on March 10 also reported that roads to all of its communes have been upgraded and are readily accessible by automobile.

The irrigation system has been renovated to ensure water supply for 85% of the province’s cultivation areas. All communes have access to electricity and per capita income has been increased to VND24 million per year, they said.
