The Role of the Reputable Person – “Village Elder” in Ensuring Social Security in the Ethnic Minority Area of Dak Lak Province Now

Dak Lak is a province located in the Cambodia - Laos - Vietnam Development Triangle area, so the opportunity to expand economic connections and investment cooperation with countries in Southeast Asia is huge. However, due to the large area, sparse population density, and geographical distance between villages, the ability of people in ethnic minority areas to access social security services is limited. Prestigious people - "village elders" in Dak Lak today make very important contributions to propaganda work as well as the implementation of social security policies. Thanks to that, we contribute to exploiting all the potentials and strengths of each region and each nation, thereby promoting production, economic development, hunger eradication and poverty reduction, gradually improving and enhancing material and spiritual life for ethnic minorities in the province.
