Improvement of emergency social assistance policy 3.1 Principles - Ensure the promptness - Target right beneficiaries/right needs - Ensure equality - Ensure transparency, no leakage of resources Summed up the principles in 9 words: “Promptness, right beneficiaries, fairness, transparency, no leakage of resources”. Those principles must be institutionalized by the mechanism/legal documents on emergency social assistance in case of emergency (at least institutionalized in Circular of the MOLISA on guiding procedures for emergency assistance/relief). 3.2 Emergency assistance motto Emergency assistance motto or model is encapsulated in 18 words: “On-site commanding; On-site forces; On-site vehicles and supplies; On-site logistics”. This motto has been done for years, but should be concretized by the mechanism/legal documents to implement; e.g. regulations on formation, management and use of reserved funds at commune/district; establish risk prevention fund at communal level with the participation of the people; define the responsibilities of people and village/commune/district to respond to risks and emergency relief; regulations on village/commune (community) during the rainy season. 3.3. Policy improvement - Gradually expand the group of people entitled to emergency assistance in line with the conditions of socio-economic development at each period. In the short-term and medium-term assistance focused beneficiaries at risk for sudden public nature (natural disasters, crop failures, epidemics, the impact of climate change). In the long term gradually expanded for both personal risks such as accidents, fires, victims of domestic violence, trafficking of women and children. - Develop criteria for determining the level of risk damage as basis for determining the appropriate assistance for each beneficiary group to ensure fairness (assistance level consistent with the level of damage). - Develop a roadmap to raise emergency social assistance subsistence to minimum living standard to ensure the need of stabilizing life of beneficiaries. - There are mechanisms and policies to encourage individuals, families, community, economic organizations, enterprises, social organizations, non-governmental organizations participated in the emergency social relief. - Install (connect) emergency assistance policies with national target programs or national programs (new rural development, employment, sustainable poverty reduction, prevention the negative impacts of climate change), with the development of insurance forms (insurance in production, property insurance, life insurance) in areas prone to natural disasters, storms, floods and the effects of climate change with the support of Government. - Develop model “reserved fund, ensuring emergency assistance” at the local level (districts and communes) with decentralization mechanism, flexible and timely manner; promoting the development of community-based microfinance institutions implement emergency assistance/short-term. - Strengthen decentralization for local government in pro-actively tackling small-scale risk (at village and at household level). - Strengthening the role of the Fatherland Front system in mobilization, management and use of resources mobilized from the community for urgent relief purpose. - A pilot study to form the reserves for risk prevention in community (village level) with the contribution mechanisms of people, mobilization of community contributions and partial support from the local budgets of all levels, to enhance the ability to cope with risks. If successful, this model can be replicated nationwide. 3.4.
