Viet Nam country has population of more than 94 millions of people and quite large of forest area, about 36% of total natural area. In Viet Nam, many ethinic minority groups like living in area with hill mountain or jungle and living in the forest has created themselves very personal characteristics both cuture and awareness. However, along with socio - economic development, forest area of Viet Nam has increasingly shrinked and the question of how to effectively protect the existing forests and ensure the life of the ethinic minority groups which are living in the forest area need to be resolved. In fact, there have been many policies regarding forest management and ensuring social security to the ethnic minority groups promulgated and applied, and the policy of allocating and contracting forest for protection is one of those policies. Nevertheless, there is no research regarding assessment of effectiveness of applying the policy, hence proposing meassures to improve the effectveness of this policy. Therefore, this research has addressed to resolve this issue, results gained from the research showed that: the natural and socio-economic conditions of the studied area are in line with forest development, each commune of the studied area has large natural area and is abundunt in labour forces having high community; procedures and implementation of the forest contracted policy for protection are appropriate and complied with regulations, guidance, organization and assigning management responsibilities for managers and users are tight; and effectiveness of implementing the policy is quite good: the rate of lossing natural forests decreases, income of the households contracting forests increases, rate of unemployment among youth reduces, and awareness of the ethnic minority groups on forest protection is raised. However, the implementation of the forest protection policy still has some limitations such as: many foresters do not know the processes and do not directly implement; lack of database at the commune level and labour tools are weak equipped; irregular supervising the forest management of the forest contractors; and lack of common protection regulations for the community.
