QUANG TRI (Biz Hub) — An 810,000-euro (US$921,600) project will be implemented in central Quang Tri province to encourage local community's participation in State budget management.

The project was launched at a conference in Quang Tri on Tuesday by the provincial Women's Union, the People's Council, and the Centre for Development and Integration.

The project that is funded by the European Union is being carried out from April 2015 to March 2018. It aims to enhance the awareness of the issue among more than 6,000 women and disadvantaged people living in six communes in Gio Linh and Hai Lang districts.

It also aims to strengthen the role, competency and responsibility of People's Councils – which directly represents local residents – at all levels in supervising public budget usage. — VNS
