Prominent among these movements is the campaign “The Entire Nation Joining Hands to Build New-styled Rural Areas”, which mobilised approximately 3.7 quadrillion VND in total.
Millions of households donated more than 98.2 million square metres of land, contributed tens of trillions of dong, and devoted millions of working days to fundamentally transform the appearance and infrastructure of rural areas, thereby improving living standards.
Another highlight is the campaign on eliminate temporary and dilapidated housing in 2025, which raised over 27.4 trillion VND. Of this, nearly 12.3 trillion VND came from public contributions, alongside 2.7 million working days from more than 454,000 participants. As a result, within just 450 days, 334,234 temporary and dilapidated houses were eradicated nationwide.
Originating from a deeply humanitarian policy of the Party and the State, the programme to do away with makeshift and dilapidated houses has turned the dream of stable housing and livelihoods into reality for hundreds of thousands of poor citizens.
Between 2021 and early Q2 2025, more than 30.3 trillion VND was raised for the Fund for the Poor in response to the movement “For the Poor – Leaving No One Behind”.
Between 2021 and early Q2 2025, more than 30.3 trillion VND was raised for the Fund for the Poor in response to the movement “For the Poor – Leaving No One Behind”.
The funds supported the construction and repair of 193,641 social houses, provided healthcare services for over 6.46 million disadvantaged people, assisted more than 1.3 million pupils and students with education, and facilitated production for more than 845,000 poor households.
By the end of 2025, the national multidimensional poverty rate had fallen to 1.3%. Among ethnic minority households, poverty decreased by an average of 4.4% per year. The number of poor and near-poor households dropped from nearly 2.4 million at the beginning of the period to just over 1.25 million.
Notably, 19 particularly disadvantaged communes in coastal, island, and remote areas achieved new-styled rural standards. In some provinces and cities, multidimensional poverty was eradicated entirely by 2024.
Reports from localities as of January 2025 showed that more than 8.9 trillion VND was mobilised for the National Target Programme on Sustainable Poverty Reduction in the 2021–2025 period. In addition, nearly 7.37 million people affected by the COVID‑19 pandemic received support totalling more than 5.95 trillion VND.
Despite these important achievements, emulation and commendation work has revealed certain limitations. It has developed unevenly in some localities due to limited leadership and insufficient linkage with participants’ interests. Monitoring, evaluation, and review of movements have not been conducted regularly or promptly.
The application of information technology and the establishment of databases for emulation and commendation remain limited.
These shortcomings will be thoroughly addressed at the 11th National Patriotic Emulation Congress, taking place in Ha Noi on December 26–27.
With the theme “Emulation for Innovation, Acceleration, and Breakthrough to Usher the Nation into an Era of Strength, Civilisation, and Prosperity”, the Congress has drawn the participation of 2,223 delegates, including 198 invited guests and 2,025 official delegates.
Emulation must become a conscious and regular responsibility of every level, sector, organisation, and individual, thus transforming into a revolutionary movement.
Discussions at the Congress will focus on comprehensive renewal, fostering creativity and breakthroughs in organising emulation campaigns to inspire and attract broader public participation.
Emulation must become a conscious and regular responsibility of every level, sector, organisation, and individual, thus transforming into a revolutionary movement that effectively addresses urgent issues of public concern, strengthens Party building, enhances the political system, drives socio‑economic development, ensures national defence and security, and expands international cooperation.
Delegates will also seek ways to promote the role of the press and media in guiding public opinion, spreading exemplary deeds, and multiplying meaningful, practical actions across all fields.
The Viet Nam Fatherland Front, socio‑political organisations, and mass associations must strengthen their supervisory and social feedback roles, ensuring the Party’s policies and the State’s laws on emulation and commendation are effectively implemented.
By mobilising the collective strength of the entire political system, these efforts will sustain and advance patriotic emulation movements nationwide.
