After three years of implementing the project "Strengthening propaganda work on drug-related crime prevention and control in ethnic minority and mountainous areas," the effectiveness of drug prevention and control propaganda has improved. With various appropriate contents, forms, and methods, especially online propaganda through social media platforms (Zalo, Facebook), websites, the provincial electronic portal, and the websites of departments, agencies, and localities, the propaganda work has contributed to raising awareness, responsibility, and compliance with the law among ethnic minority communities regarding drug prevention and control.
The team of respected individuals, village elders, hamlet leaders, and religious dignitaries effectively fulfill their roles in disseminating information, educating, mobilizing, and reporting individuals showing signs of violating the law; preventing malicious individuals from exploiting and inciting the people to disrupt local security and order.
