In recent years, in order to effectively reduce poverty, Gia Vien district has focused on implementing projects to support poor households in diversifying their livelihood models and replicating poverty reduction models, including a project to support cow breeding. This is the basis for households to escape poverty. According to the results of the poverty household review conducted in November 2023, the poverty rate in the district has decreased to 1.92%.

Organizing direct dialogue conferences with poor and near-poor households is an opportunity for authorities and localities to better understand the specific circumstances and wishes of poor households, as well as the difficulties in accessing policies to support the poor. From there, propose appropriate poverty reduction support solutions, creating resources for the poor to escape poverty sustainably.
