The disbursement of foreign non-governmental aid to Viet Nam in 2021 hit nearly 233 million USD, an increase of over 5 percent year-on-year. Of the total, the value of goods, cash and technical assistance for Viet Nam’s fight against COVID-19 totaled more than 10.6 million USD.
The disbursement ratio of foreign non-governmental aid reached more than 73 percent of the total value committed in the year, over 2 percent higher than that of 2020.
