This includes caring for vulnerable women and children, "Accompanying women in border areas"; supporting women in starting businesses and developing the economy; promoting the role of women in building new rural areas; strengthening propaganda activities on gender equality and the work of female cadres; and building strong grassroots women's associations.
Accordingly, many movements and activities of the association continue to deepen.

The "Millions of Gifts Sharing Love" program, the "Tet for the Poor in the Year of the Tiger 2022" program, the "Building Shelters of Love" program, and the "Transforming Waste into Useful Things" program continue to be effectively implemented.
In particular, the "Godmother" program, launched by the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Women's Union, has been systematically implemented by the Provincial Women's Union based on surveys of target groups and resource mobilization. To date, 579 orphaned children in difficult circumstances in the province have received sponsorship.
The Provincial Women's Union has also focused on developing two projects: "Propagating, mobilizing, and supporting women in building OCOP products; promoting and connecting the consumption of goods to contribute to local economic development in the period 2022-2027"; and "Propagating, mobilizing, and supporting women to participate in sorting and processing waste at source and limiting the use of plastic bags in Nghe An province in the period 2022-2027," which have been submitted to the Provincial People's Committee for approval.
