Vietnam Women’s Union works with the Women's Union of Tuyen Quang province

On the morning of July 25, a delegation from the Vietnam Women’s Union (VWU), led by Vice President Tran Lan Phuong, paid a working visit to the Tuyen Quang Provincial Women’s Union to inspect and supervise entrusted capital management and assess the implementation of union activities and the local women’s movement.

An overview of the working session.

At the meeting, the Tuyen Quang Provincial Women’s Union reported that after the merger, the union’s organizational structure at all levels had been streamlined and stabilized, ensuring effective operations. The union currently has over 335,000 members, more than 60% of whom are ethnic minority women. Key patriotic emulation movements and capital entrustment programs with banks and credit institutions have been implemented in a coordinated manner, contributing to local economic development and improving members’ livelihoods.

As of June 30, total outstanding loans had reached over VND 3,000 billion through the Provincial Social Policy Bank and more than VND 1,500 billion via the Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development. Savings and loan groups continued to operate effectively, demonstrating a notable impact at the grassroots level.

However, the Women’s Union at all levels continues to face challenges, including a shortage of key personnel in some communes, the absence of dedicated specialists, and an unclear operating model following the administrative merger. These issues have affected the implementation of assigned tasks and the management of entrusted capital programs.

Speaking at the meeting, Comrade Ma The Hong, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee, commended the Union for its proactive and flexible approach in task implementation. He urged the Union to strengthen guidance and promptly address grassroots-level difficulties to enhance operational effectiveness.

Comrade Tran Lan Phuong appreciated the efforts of the Provincial Women’s Union and recommended continued promotion of social credit policies, enhanced support for women-led startups, and the creation of sustainable jobs to contribute to socio-economic development. She also emphasized the need for thorough preparations for the upcoming Women’s Congresses at all levels.
