The Government provides partial funding, while communities offer support, and beneficiaries take responsibility for organising the construction. All financial resources must be managed efficiently, ensuring they are used appropriately and in accordance with the law. Under the programme, funding for new house construction and repairs stand at 100 million VND per home and 50 million VND per home, respectively./.
