He recommended that the province establish a mechanism that aligns with local conditions, strengthen supervision and post-evaluation of mobilisation, reception, use, and management of aid and NGO activities, and develop a list of projects and areas requiring support in the coming years.

The province should maintain regular information exchanges and prioritise specialised training for staff involved in NGO-related work.

Điện Biên Province expressed its desire for the committee to continue introducing organisations with appropriate fields of operation and full legal standing to carry out activities in the province, as well as to enhance support in managing and mobilising NGO aid.
