The central province of Quang Ngai has set a target of raising VND70 billion ($3.68 million) in aid from foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) for this year. The province told donors at a regular meeting on May 21 that the funding would be spent to promote agricultural production and rural development, provide assistance for the disabled, AO victims and orphans, and strengthen local capacity to cope with climate change and national disasters. A detailed plan on raising money from foreign NGOs for the 2010-2015 period has been finalized while regulations related to foreign relations have been updated to help the province meet its targets in this field.
