In particular, the growth rate of Da Nang gross regional domestic product (GRDP) in the second quarter of 2022 rose by 12.3%, and in the first 6 months increased by 7.23%. Meanwhile, the city’s total State budget in the first half of 2022 reached 68% of the year’s estimates.

Over the past time, the Da Nang Party Committee has always promoted the role of women through the issuance of many guidelines and policies associated with the implementation of the ‘5 No’s, 3 Yes’s’ programme and the 'City of 4 Safe Programmes' campaign.

Also, the Da Nang Party Committee has issued Directive 39-CT/TU on building a safe city free of violence against women and girls.

The city has also deployed a project to develop female cadres until 2025 and the following years with the aim of building a contingent of quality female cadres to meet the requirements of the construction and development of the city in the new normal.
