In terms of quantity, the target is that by 2025, at least 95% of the provinces and municipalities in the country will have ISHCs in their communities<\/strong>; At least 3,000 new clubs will be\u00a0built with 150,000 new\u00a0members, of which more than 100,000 are older people<\/strong>. The Decision also directs the focus of the replication efforts to remote\u00a0and mountainous areas, regions with ethnic minorities and\u00a0regions with difficult socio-economic conditions. In addition, it is necessary to maintain and improve the quality of operations and manage 100% of the ISHCs\u00a0built in the period of 2016 – 2020 and the newly built Clubs. In terms of quality, the ISHCs should\u00a0strive to ensure the composition of membership<\/strong>\u00a0(each Club should have 50-70 members, of which 60% – 70% are women, 60% – 70% are older people, 30-40% are young people, priority is given to people with difficult circumstances); At least 70% of the Clubs should be active in every fields\u00a0and are well managed so that at least 50% of their members can get loans for income generating\u00a0activities, all members are entitled to improvement of\u00a0physical and mental health, raise awareness, knowledge and protect their rights; 100% of the Clubs should have a\u00a0fund for income generating\u00a0activities and an operational fund which is managed by the club themseves\u00a0in accordance with the regulations.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n

The rapid\u00a0growth in the number\u00a0of ISHCs\u00a0(nearly 3,000 in June 2020) shows that the model has met the needs and aspirations of the people in general and of older people\u00a0in particular, is approved by the Association of the Elderly and\u00a0is supported by local authorities.
