Building a team of good population propagandists

The contest is also an opportunity to recognize, honor and encourage groups, especially the population propaganda team that is directly carrying out communication work at the grassroots level.

In his opening speech, Deputy Minister of Health Do Xuan Tuyen said: The population sector has a long development process with the close direction of the Politburo through each stage. Based on Resolution 72 and practical requirements, with the consent of the Politburo, the Government assigned the Ministry of Health to develop a draft Law on Population. The development of the draft law was initiated about 5 years ago and had to go through many rounds of discussion. Currently, the draft law has been submitted to the National Assembly, discussed in groups and in the hall. The Ministry of Health is receiving and completing the documents for explanation. If there are no changes, it is expected that on December 10, the National Assembly will consider and approve it. If approved, this will also be the first legal document in this field.

According to Deputy Minister Do Xuan Tuyen, in order to effectively implement important and strategic solutions in population work, it is necessary to build a team of truly dedicated and creative propagandists who have a firm grasp of the Party and State's policies and guidelines, and are capable of conveying and spreading population messages to each residential area, each family and each person.

At the opening ceremony, Director of the Department of Population Le Thanh Dung, Head of the Organizing Committee - Head of the Contest's Jury, affirmed: The population propagandists at the grassroots level are the ones who directly bring population policies to each village, each family, each community, and are also an important force contributing to the implementation of population and development goals in the past and the next stages.

In 2025, the contest will have the participation of nearly 200 propagandists from 11 provinces and cities representing regions across the country, including: the North (6 provinces/cities): Hanoi , Hai Phong, Son La, Cao Bang, Thai Nguyen, Phu Tho; the Central region (2 provinces/cities): Lam Dong, Da Nang; the South (3 provinces/cities): Dong Nai, Can Tho, Ho Chi Minh City.

The teams overcame the difficulties of geographical distance and year-end work pressure to participate in the competition with a high sense of responsibility and determination.

The contest took place over two days with four main parts: Greeting: introducing cultural characteristics and the implementation of population work in the locality; Knowledge: answering professional questions and handling communication situations; Talent: performing theatrical art performances associated with population messages; Eloquence: presenting solutions to improve the effectiveness of population communication at the grassroots level.

The Party and the State have identified population work as the cause of the entire Party and the entire people. In recent years, Vietnam has achieved many important achievements, contributing to socio-economic development, hunger eradication and poverty reduction and improving the quality of life. However, according to Conclusion No. 149-KL/TW dated April 10, 2025 of the Politburo , population work still has many limitations: the total fertility rate tends to decrease below the replacement level; gender imbalance at birth remains high; solutions to exploit the advantage of the "golden population" and adapt to population aging are not yet synchronous and effective; average life expectancy has increased but the number of healthy years is still low.

In response to such practical requirements, propaganda and mobilization work continues to be identified as one of the four important solutions in Conclusion No. 149-KL/TW. This requires the grassroots media team to be increasingly professional, creative and proactive in order to bring the Party's policies on population and development work to the people.
