In the first half of this year, about 10.8 trillion VND has been invested in health insurance coverage and education for the poor, according to Deputy Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Dam. 
He admitted that most of provinces and cities nationwide have allocated capital to communes and districts to implement the national target programme on poverty reduction in 2016, and poured investments in infrastructure construction in communes and districts in extreme difficulties. However, several localities have still lagged behind,he noted.
Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Dao Quang Thu suggested setting expiration dates for poverty reduction-related policies, creating more livelihoods for the poor and supporting business initiatives. 
During the meeting, delegates underscored the need to adjust relevant policies and empower the poor.
