VOV.VN reporter interviewed Ms. Truong Thi Ngoc Anh – Vice President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee about the openness, transparency and efficiency in coordinating and using the Fund of the Vietnam Fatherland Front. The COVID-19 prevention and control fund is called, managed and coordinated by the Vietnam Fatherland Front to donate resources to buy vaccines, carry out COVID-19 prevention and control work, and support units and localities. region severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 vaccine fund was established by the Government and managed by the Ministry of Finance, with the goal of receiving, managing and using funding sources to purchase, import, research, and produce together with state budget resources. domestic vaccine production to vaccinate people. Children bring piggy bank to support epidemic prevention and control fund Reporter: In recent years, the Vietnam Fatherland Front has received many donations for the COVID-19 Prevention and Control Fund. So which reception left the biggest impression on you? Ms. Truong Thi Ngoc Anh: In a very short time, many individuals and groups have supported the COVID-19 Fund through the Vietnam Fatherland Front. Every heart is precious. Among them are two small children who personally impressed me. Two children brought piggy banks to the Central Committee (Central Committee) of the Vietnam Fatherland Front to support the Fund for COVID-19 Prevention and Control. Both children are still in elementary school. One child attends in Quoc Oai district, the other in Dong Da district. “This is the money that I save from the bonus after each school year and the money that the aunts and uncles give for the Tet holiday.” – said a small child as he handed the piggy bank to us. Grandson Nguyen Ngoc Minh beats a piggy bank to save for 4 years and donate it to the COVID-19 Prevention Fund I saw with my own eyes the children beating pigs. The small coins are curled up neatly in the piggy bank, showing the children’s accumulation and respect. For young children, piggy bank is not only a savings but also a treasure. But when needed, the children are ready to bring their treasures to donate. The image of the children counting every penny in the piggy bank to bring to support made many adults like us surprised and moved. “I want to ask you to transfer this money to the epidemic area. First of all, to help children of the same age as us, who are affected by the epidemic, and those who have to be separated from their parents to go into isolation.” Sometimes the actions of small children have to make adults like us think. I hope that the story of these two piggy banks will spread the beautiful image of “small people doing small things”, about the spirit of caring and supporting each other of the Vietnamese people. Inspiring responsibility for the country’s destiny in every citizen Reporter: With its position and role as a center of solidarity, gathering all social forces, over the years, the Vietnam Fatherland Front has effectively launched many donation and support programs. What is the meaning of this campaign for the Fund for COVID-19 Prevention and Control and how is it different from other campaigns, madam? Ms. Truong Thi Ngoc Anh: Through two campaigns and donations to support the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic (Phase 1: 1-17/3/2020; Phase 2: From May 27, 2021), the Vietnam Fatherland Front clearly saw the essence of the COVID-19 pandemic. spirit and responsibility to the country of each Vietnamese people. When the country is in trouble, that spirit will rise strongly. In 2020, when the Prime Minister called on the whole country to fight the epidemic like fighting the enemy, the whole people became a great solidarity, persistently fighting at both the front and rear. The Vietnam Fatherland Front has received a great deal of resources from the people to work with the State budget in anti-epidemic work. Perhaps that strength is one of many factors that make Vietnam the second best anti-epidemic country in the world. President Nguyen Xuan Phuc launched a peak donation campaign to support COVID-19 prevention and control on May 27, 2021. In 2021, when the COVID-19 epidemic is complicated with many new strains, the country will again fall into a difficult time. The dizzying and unpredictable spread of the new virus strain poses new requirements and measures. That’s 5K+ vaccines. Accordingly, the Politburo and the Secretariat of the Party Central Committee have advocated vaccination for the entire population. In addition to the State budget, the Government has also called for contributions from the people. In the spirit of responding to the Party’s guidelines and the Government’s solutions, the Vietnam Fatherland Front organized the second campaign. After the call of President Nguyen Xuan Phuc and Chairman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Do Van Chien, up to now, the Vietnam Fatherland Front has received nearly 3,500 billion VND for the COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control fund from the people. In such a context, every dollar donated to the COVID-19 Prevention and Control Fund is very meaningful. All for a safe Vietnam Reporter: Despite many difficulties and even heavy damage caused by the epidemic, in a short time, many businesses, collectives, individuals, agencies and units have donated trillions of dong through the Vietnam Fatherland Front. to contribute to the fight against COVID-19. How do you feel about this? Ms. Truong Thi Ngoc Anh: I myself have heard a lot of businesses confiding: “We have been closed for many months now, the workers have no jobs…but still have to work hard to pay wages to keep them, waiting for the day production resumes”. During more than a long year because of the epidemic, the difficulties that businesses and employees face are increasingly piling up. For businesses operating in service areas such as tourism, hotels, etc., the damage is even heavier. But when the Vietnam Fatherland Front sent out a call to them, they had to deduct part of the money to support. All for a safe country, for a disease-free country. On behalf of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, Ms. Truong Thi Ngoc Anh received VND 500 million from Power Generation Company 1. This is both an act of showing the social responsibility of businesses to the country, as well as a responsibility to “save themselves” in the condition that the country is affected by the epidemic. Because only when the epidemic is extinguished, can businesses reproduce and re-operate, businesses and the economy can recover. But above all, I see “compatriotism”, the spirit of the good leaves to protect the torn leaves of our nation. During their own most difficult times, they still find ways to help those in need, are still willing to join hands and stand side by side with the country. Donations are prioritized to be used according to the wishes of the contributors Reporter: Publicity, transparency, accuracy, timeliness, efficiency in the coordination and use of the Fund are what the sponsors as well as each collective and individual are very interested in. Could you please tell me, how does the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front have been directed and monitored so that this resource can be used for the right purposes, for the right subjects and with high efficiency? Ms. Truong Thi Ngoc Anh: In Article 2 of Decree 64/2008/ND-CP on mobilizing, receiving, distributing and using voluntary contributions, it is stipulated that the responsibility of the Vietnam Fatherland Front is to allocate funds to mobilize a In a reasonable manner and for the right purposes based on the requests of businesses, donors, etc. Thus, we will prioritize the allocation of the COVID-19 prevention and control fund at the request of businesses and organizations. and individual contributors. Accordingly, out of nearly 650 billion VND in donations from collectives, individuals, units and businesses sent to the Vietnam Fatherland Front, we will transfer 550 billion VND to the Vaccine Fund managed by the Ministry of Finance. The Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee received more than 130 million donations from the Association of Vietnamese compatriots in Macao (China). The extent of damage, epidemic situation, socio-economic conditions of localities and units are the second coordination criteria. Based on these factors, we will allocate resources to the right localities and objects of need. Currently, Bac Ninh and Bac Giang are the two provinces most heavily affected by the COVID-19 epidemic. Therefore, we have allocated resources to two localities to serve epidemic prevention and control; as well as providing financial support, taking care of poor households, losing jobs and losing income due to the COVID-19 epidemic to ensure a minimum standard of living for people. Responding to the guiding spirit of the Party and Government, purchasing a vaccine is the biggest priority in coordinating and using the Vietnam Fatherland Front’s COVID-19 Prevention Fund. In addition, following the call of the President, the Vietnam Fatherland Front is very interested in encouraging and training the frontline forces in the prevention and control of the epidemic. In this fight against the epidemic, the armed forces or doctors are people with very special circumstances. There are many people who volunteered in the epidemic center, did not come home for months, worked until exhausted… Therefore, the community must be responsible for spiritual encouragement and material support so that they can do well the tasks that the country has. entrust. Only then will we be able to extinguish the epidemic, and the country will regain peace. To ensure transparency in the use of funds, the Vietnam Fatherland Front transparently discloses all receipts and allocations from the COVID-19 Prevention and Control Fund in the media. Immediately after allocating funds to the receiving units, we also require the responsible units and localities to give two-way feedback, fully report the expenditures, list and address of beneficiaries, …with the Vietnam Fatherland Front. On that basis, the Fatherland Front conducts regular monitoring, ensuring that the funds are used for the right subjects and for the right purposes. Reporter: Thank you ma’am.
