Every year, specialized agencies regularly deploy monitoring and evaluation systems for each content and component project of the program to help localities monitor and manage detailed indicators, targets, and data, ensuring accuracy. Through inspection and supervision, localities have been promptly recognized and resolved difficulties and problems in order to contribute to accelerating the implementation progress and increasing the disbursement rate of capital sources to implement national target programs.

Regarding policy credit in implementing national target programs, in 2024 and 11 months of 2025, 173,260 poor households and policy beneficiaries have had access to VBSP capital to develop production and create sustainable livelihoods. Notably, outstanding loans for ethnic minority households reached VND 4,582 billion (accounting for 32.1% of total outstanding loans), with more than 101,000 customers still having outstanding loans; outstanding loans in rural, remote and isolated areas reached VND 12,282 billion (accounting for 86.3% of total outstanding loans), with more than 220,000 households still having outstanding loans.

Dak Lak province recommends that the Government promptly issue mechanisms, policies, guiding documents and announce medium-term capital sources for career development investment in early 2026 so that localities have a basis to implement the National Target Programs for the period 2026 - 2030; consider issuing regulations to increase the level of support for residential land, housing, production land, and domestic water; increase the level of preferential credit loans to support residential land, housing, production land, domestic water and expand the beneficiaries...
