Cao Bang authorities were tasked with receiving, distributing, and managing the rice aid in a timely and transparent manner. They must ensure the rice reaches the intended beneficiaries, the allocation adheres to guidelines, and wastefulness or misuse is prevented.
The province is also accountable for reporting data and submitting proposals to the central government.
