In 2017, population work still faced many difficulties due to the lack of funding from the national target program, which greatly affected the implementation of the province's policies on population work and the implementation of campaigns, communication and advocacy work, and consultation at the grassroots level. Regarding personnel work, there were still problems in transferring communal officials, leading to a "vacancy" of officials in many localities.

In the coming time, in addition to continuing to promote propaganda, mobilization, and coordination; enhancing the effectiveness of implementing projects and models to improve the quality and structure of population, improve the quality of family planning services, and care for reproductive health. At the same time, continue to consolidate and stabilize the organization and staff of population and family planning from the provincial to grassroots levels to ensure that they are strong enough to carry out population and family planning tasks and set goals.
