Contribute to city development

Aid from foreign non-governmental organizations is consistent with the city's social security policies and guidelines. With the effective cooperation and support of organizations, the lives of people in difficult circumstances and poor children have been significantly improved. This is considered one of the great resources contributing to improving the material and spiritual life of the people as well as the socio-economic development of Da Nang city.

In the coming time, the city will continue to mobilize foreign non-governmental organizations to provide aid in a number of areas such as: healthcare, education - training, support for the disadvantaged, environment and response to climate change, digital transformation...

To create trust, bond and maintain long-term relationships with foreign non-governmental organizations, the Department of Foreign Affairs always accompanies and participates in activities within the project framework; actively coordinates with competent agencies to handle and thoroughly resolve difficulties in aid relations.

For example, supporting procedures for visa application, extension, conversion of types of registration certificates related to project construction, project signing and approval are carried out in accordance with State regulations, shortening the time to help foreign non-governmental projects quickly be deployed and put into practice.
