Central ministries and agencies are responsible for providing professional guidance on key environmental protection activities to their subordinate units.
The Ministry of Finance coordinates with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to notify each central ministry and agency of the next year's environmental protection funding check amount.

Local agencies and units prepare budgets for environmental public service expenses to send to the natural resources and environment agency, while simultaneously consolidating them into the annual budget to submit to the financial agency and the planning and investment agency at the same level as stipulated by the State Budget Law.
The Department of Natural Resources and Environment collaborates with the Department of Finance to report to the provincial People's Committee to present to the People's Council at the same level for determining the total expenditure on environmental public services from the local budget, ensuring it does not fall below the guidelines for environmental public service expenditures announced by the Ministry of Finance.
