To implement thrift and anti-corruption measures throughout the province, based on the Government 's annual overall thrift and anti-corruption program and the local situation, Vinh Phuc has proactively developed and issued its own provincial thrift and anti-corruption program.

Specifically, the focus is on directing agencies, units, levels, sectors, and state-owned enterprises in the province to develop and issue programs for thrift and anti-corruption with specific savings targets for their respective agencies and units, according to their state management functions.
