In recent years, the Population - Family Planning work of Nghi Phu commune has had positive changes and achieved encouraging results.
The third birth rate of the commune has decreased from 15.85% in 2013 to 13.084%. The rate of couples in childbearing age accepting the use of contraceptives is increasing, reaching 80.1%. The family size of having few children is becoming more and more popular. This result has been achieved with the great contribution of ethnic minorities living in Nghi Phu commune.

Along with the achieved results, the population and family planning work in the area still faces difficulties and challenges. Therefore, through this conference, the Organizing Committee hopes that the individuals and groups present will be active propagandists so that the people in the area can effectively implement the population and family planning policies set out by the Party and the State.
Recognizing the contributions of Catholic compatriots, the Organizing Committee commended and rewarded 2 groups, 7 individuals and 7 households for their good implementation of the Population - Family Planning policy.
