The province believes that this achievement in securing national funds is the result of consensus at the government level on the necessity and importance of the major projects being promoted by the province. Going forward, the province plans to focus its administrative capacity on enhancing the completeness of project implementation and tangible outcomes, so that national funds are not just about scale.
