Ho Chi Minh City has continually promoted policies supporting poor households and especially those promoting livelihood support and job creation, thereby helping achieve sustainable poverty reduction. The city strives to have no poor households by the end of 2025.

On February 28, the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) signed a cooperation agreement on poverty reduction. The UNDP will provide policy advice and technical assistance to the ministry, to realize the goal of cutting the number of poor and near-poor households in half by 2025.
