In the presentation sent to the Congress, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Gia Lai province focused on analyzing the results and experiences in propaganda and mobilization of ethnic minorities (DTTS), and at the same time proposed tasks and solutions for the new period.
Mass mobilization plays a key role
According to the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Gia Lai province, propaganda and mobilization work for ethnic minorities plays a key role in bringing the Party's guidelines and policies, and the State's laws into life. Thereby contributing to raising political awareness, promoting socio-economic development, consolidating people's trust, helping ethnic minorities eliminate backward customs and arouse the spirit of production emulation.
Over the past time, the Fatherland Front at all levels in the province has promoted propaganda, mobilization, and gathered all classes of people, creating consensus and social stability. With the motto "4 working days at the agency, 1 working day at the grassroots level", Front officials proactively stick to the area, grasp the thoughts and aspirations of the people, promptly remove difficulties, and bring the resolutions of the Party and State into practice.
Gia Lai currently has 47 ethnic groups, with a population of more than 3.5 million people, of which more than 830,000 people are ethnic minorities, accounting for about 23.2%. The main ethnic groups include Jrai, Bahnar, Muong, Hre and some other ethnic groups.
The Fatherland Front at all levels has effectively implemented major movements and campaigns such as: "All people unite to build new rural areas, civilized cities", "Changing the way of thinking and working among ethnic minorities to escape poverty sustainably", "Building new rural villages among ethnic minorities", "For the poor - Leaving no one behind", along with activities of the Great National Unity Festival and the All-People Border Guard Festival...
After the merger, Gia Lai became the 2nd largest province in the country, after Lam Dong. With a large area and uneven intellectual level, the Fatherland Front at all levels has promoted the role of village elders, prestigious people, religious dignitaries and the Front Work Committee in residential areas in propaganda and mobilization work.
Thanks to that, the awareness of ethnic minorities has been raised; many backward customs have been eliminated, and vigilance against distorted arguments has been strengthened. The great national unity bloc continues to be firmly consolidated.
In addition, poverty reduction work has achieved positive results, and the poverty rate has decreased year by year. To date, the whole province has 94/113 communes meeting new rural standards (83.1%), of which 35 communes meet advanced new rural standards and 4 communes meet model standards.
In 2025, the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses was 100% completed with 12,520 houses built and repaired. The voter turnout for the election of National Assembly deputies of the 16th term and People's Councils at all levels reached 99.84%.
According to the Resolution of the 1st Gia Lai Provincial Party Congress, term 2025-2030, the province strives to achieve GRDP growth of 10-10.5%/year; total budget revenue by 2030 reaches over 41,000 billion VND; the rate of communes meeting new rural standards is not lower than the national average.
