Regularly improve the organizational structure for implementing the program at all levels, ensuring uniformity and consistency from the provincial to the local (district, commune) level. Prioritize allocating sufficient dedicated and capable personnel to the advisory body on rural development. Enhance the capacity and skills of the specialized rural development staff to become increasingly professional.

Strengthen the effective implementation of solutions to mobilize resources for the program. Units and localities should prioritize allocating investment resources to disadvantaged areas, ensuring focused and effective allocation, avoiding scattered and wasteful use of budget funds; effectively implement investment credit policies for agriculture and rural areas; and strengthen efforts to mobilize resources from businesses and organizations.
