The five NGOs include Mines Advisory Group (MAG), World Vision International, Plan International, Zhi-Shan Foundation and Norwegian People's Aid (NPA).

The NGOs-funded projects helped the province reduce the poverty rate from 16.11% in 2011 to 11.56% in late 2013.
Chinh acknowledged the active contributions of international organisations, embassies and NGOs in Vietnam which provided more than US$26 million for Quang Tri to develop socio-economic infrastructure and the agro-forestry-fishery industry, restructure the economy and eliminate poverty in remote and ethnic minority areas from 2011 to 2013
