In order to achieve the objectives of population and family planning work and stabilize the population size at reasonable level and improve the quality of population, the Secretariat of the Party issued instructions as follows:

  1. The executive boards of the Party at all levels and branches should seriously review the implementation of Resolution No. 4 on Population and Family Planning Policy; work out solutions to overcome shortcomings and constraints so as to achieve the objectives set out in the Resolution. The Party at all levels should integrate the population and family planning task into their working plans; timely solve specific problems; pay adequate attention to population and family planning system; and select competent staff to carry out the work.

    Party and Government leaders at all levels should have serious measures upon those party members and staff who violated the population and family planning policy. The implementation of population and family planning policy is a criterion for promotion and recommendation to participate in Party organizations, Government authorities and mass organizations at all levels.

    Mass organizations and social institutions should have their own regulations and plans to carry out this policy within their own structures.

  2. Sufficient funds must be ensured for population and family planning activities in 1995 according to the national plan which was already specified by the Government and this fund should be increased in the coming years. Due to budget constraints, international supports and community contribution should be increasingly mobilized. Population and Family Planning Committees at all levels should manage and utilize their allocated budget effectively. State budget for population and family planning activities should be openly allocated and the flow of funds to grass-root level must be of great proportion. Goal-oriented programs should be managed through responsibility contracts. Local governments are responsible for supervising and monitoring the correct utilization of funds, waste and corruption must be strictly fined.

  3. IEC services should be further promoted to different target groups and different zones with adequate forms, help people voluntarily accept the norm of small family ; well implement the maternal and child health care and provide a diversified and qualified family planning services.

  4. The Party Boards and the government should issue unanimous guidance to all branches so that population and family planning objectives could be integrated into such policies and programs as poverty elimination, agricultural production promotion, credits for production development, health care, social welfare improvement etc.

  5. The NCPFP should study and formulate programs to coordinate social forces participating in population and family planning programs; urgently overcome constraints on institutional management, training IEC and family planning services, budget mobilization, and socialization of family planning work.
