It was revealed during a working session between the provincial authorities and working delegations from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the U.N. Development Program and the Committee for Ethnic Affairs on a ADB-funded project improving institutional capacity to carry out the master plan on socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas for the 2021-2030 period.

Since 1998, Yen Bai has launched 20 ADB-funded programs and projects in the fields of rural agriculture, environment-disaster prevention, traffic infrastructure and education, training, health care and social affairs. Most of them have been put into use so far and proved effective, contributing to local socio-economic development.

At present, the committee and ADB are helping Yen Bai build and submit a project on green infrastructure in adaption with climate change for ethnic minority regions at a total estimated capital of 64.25 million USD.

At the session, they discussed demand for support related to production, tourism, gender equality promotion and proposals in the project.
