A meeting was celebrated in Buon Ma Thuot City in Dak Lak province to review the Prime Minister’s project to boost the capacity of administrations at grassroots level in the Central Highlands region. 7 years after completing the government’s directive in 2002, the Central Highlands provinces have consolidated and improved the standard of their staffs.

To date, the region has trained 13,000 full-time employees in charge of communal and ward issues, 2,000 of them women accounting for 17.3%. 3,600 of the public servants are also ethnic minority people, making up 26.8%. Over 11,000 cadres at grass roots level have been trained and listed on the personnel master-plan, 2,600 of them from ethnic minorities.

More than 300 staff from district and provincial agencies has been sent to work in communes, most of them in key positions. At the meeting, the participants put forward a number of proposals to continue strengthening the local administrations in the Central Highlands from now until 2020. They mainly concentrated on policy to increase the knowledge of those who work in religious and ethnic areas. The region’s leaders also asked many agencies to draw up plans on continued funding therefore the region can construct or upgrade offices.
