Organize systematic and synchronous implementation from the grassroots
The Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Can Tho City said that to achieve the above results, the implementation work has been strictly implemented from the stage of reviewing subjects to organizing house construction.

Propaganda work is carried out regularly, through the system of the Front, local governments, unions and press channels, helping to spread the meaning of the program and create widespread response in the community.

Towards supporting livelihoods and sustainable poverty reduction
The Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Can Tho City said that in addition to the achievements, there are still many difficulties and challenges that need to be addressed. The number of poor households, near-poor households and families in especially difficult circumstances still exists. Therefore, the Front system continues to effectively promote campaigns and patriotic emulation movements, increase propaganda and mobilize social resources to practically care for the poor and disadvantaged.
At the same time, it is necessary to improve the quality of supervision and social criticism, ensuring that support policies are implemented to the right people and at the right times. Not only supporting housing, orienting livelihoods, supporting people to access digital transformation and applying advanced production models is also extremely important, to help them stabilize and improve their quality of life.
