NDO – Vietnam has achieved positive results in innovating and improving the efficiency of the collective economic sector in the past two decades, with many new and effective cooperative models being implemented across the nation.

The significant results and experiences learnt are expected to be summarised at a national conference scheduled for December this year.

The Steering Committee on summarising 20 years of implementing the resolution of the 9th Party Central Committee’s 5th conference on continuing to innovate, develop and improve the efficiency of the collective economy (Resolution No. 13-NQ/TW) has urged the concerned units to conduct the review of the resolution’s implementation in an urgent and serious manner amid the complicated development of the COVID-19 epidemic.

Local authorities have been asked to boost the work at the district and provincial levels in a substantive manner in order to properly assess the local situations, draw lessons, and provide recommendations to the Central Steering Committee towards advising competent agencies to consider and issue a resolution on continuing to innovate, develop and improve the efficiency of the collective economy in the country’s new situation.

Previously, the Government issued a plan on summarising the 20 years of implementation of Resolution No. 13-NQ/TW, dated March 18, 2002, with the aim of evaluating the results of implementation and development of the collective economy after two decades of implementing the resolution with regards to the achieved results, limitations and lessons learned, thereby proposing orientations and solutions to improve the sector’s efficiency in meeting the requirements for the nation’s development while serving the improvement of institutions and developing a new draft resolution of the Central Party Committee on the collective economy.

Localities across the country are suggested to conduct reviews and hold summary conferences at the district level (within September 2021 at the latest) and provincial level (within October 2021 at the latest).

Before October 25, 2021, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development shall preside over the organisation of a national conference on summarising the 20 years of implementation of Resolution No. 13-NQ/TW in the agricultural sector. The Vietnam Cooperative Alliance should chair a similar event for the non-agricultural sector.

In December 2021, the standing body of the Steering Committee (under the Ministry of Planning and Investment) will preside over and coordinate with the Government Office to host a national conference summarising the 20 years of implementation of the resolution.
