In recent years, Nghe An province has paid special attention to hunger eradication and poverty reduction, considering it one of the most important tasks. With the attention of Party committees, authorities, agencies and units, especially the response and support of businesses and philanthropists, the poverty rate has decreased sharply, from 9.5% in 2016 to 7.3% in 2017.

However, up to now, the whole province still has over 66,000 poor households, including many unfortunate lives, in dire need of social help.
