Although the poverty rate in the province has decreased significantly, the persistent poverty and the risk of falling back into poverty are still significant challenges. In fact, sustainable poverty reduction needs to continue to be focused on and implemented more synchronously and effectively. This is not only the task of each locality but also an important goal in the roadmap towards sustainable development of the country.

Through the form of dramatization, seminars on sustainable livelihood creation and exchange activities of “catching words by looking at pictures”, women members are equipped with more information and knowledge about policies and guidelines to support hunger eradication and poverty reduction of the Party and State; the implementation process of policies of relevant levels and sectors. Thereby, encouraging members and women to strive to overcome difficult circumstances, seek opportunities to escape poverty, and create sustainable livelihoods in the locality.
