Ho Chi Minh City is embarking on an ambitious plan to eradicate poverty by 2030, introducing a revamped strategy that moves away from traditional direct assistance. The city's new approach centers on empowering individuals through livelihood support and job creation, aiming for sustainable economic independence.

This strategic shift signifies a move towards addressing the root causes of poverty rather than solely providing immediate relief. By focusing on vocational training, access to capital, and employment opportunities, the city intends to equip its residents with the tools they need to build stable futures. The goal is to ensure that no household falls below the poverty line by the end of the decade.

The new methodology emphasizes creating long-term economic stability for vulnerable populations. This includes fostering entrepreneurship, facilitating access to markets, and ensuring fair wages. The city believes this proactive, livelihood-focused strategy will lead to more lasting poverty reduction and improved living standards for all its citizens.
