Of the sum, US$34 billion will be spent on helping farmers whose land is taken over for projects. 

More than VND157 billion will be used to assist workers who lost their jobs due to economic slowdown, through the city’s fund for job generation and recruitment activities in districts that have great numbers of unemployed labourers and a project to offer loans to 1,000 poor households. 

Vocational training establishments will also receive subsidies from the funding. 

Nearly VND8.3 billion is added to the poverty alleviation budget in order to reduce 2 percent of the number of poor households and build houses for poor families. 

In addition, the Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Welfare is working with the farmers and Women Associations in carrying out projects to support poor households in breeding cows and planting trees in outlying districts, mainly Chuong My, My Duc, Ung Hoa, Quoc Oai, Ba Vi and Thach That.
