In the process of sustainable development in Vietnam, preserving and promoting the cultural values of ethnic minorities is a task, so there should be sustainable solutions to preserve cultural identity and strengthen national solidarity. The process of modernization, urbanization, along with factors such as market economy and cultural change, has posed many challenges to conservation work. An Giang province, the long-standing residence of the Khmer, Cham, and Chinese communities, is an area with high ethnic cultural diversity, but is also affected by cultural change. This study aims to eval uate the effectiveness of implementing the policy of preserving the culture of ethnic minorities in An Giang, identify influencing factors, and propose practical policy solutions. The study uses quantitative methods with a questionnaire surveying 750 subjects, including ethnic minority people and cultural officials in Tri Ton, Tinh Bien, Chau Phu districts, and Chau Doc city. Data were processed through the following steps: descriptive statistics of survey sample characteristics; testing the reliabi lity of the scale using Cronbach's Alpha; exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to determine the struc ture of observed variables; and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test the suitability of the measurement model. The analysis results identified five groups of factors that positively affected the effectiveness of implementing the policy on preserving ethnic minority culture, including (1) The suitability of policy objectives and content with local cultural characteristics; (2) Support resources in terms of finance, human resources and facilities; (3) Implementation organization and management capacity at the grassroots level; (4) Level of community participation in planning, monitoring and implementation; (5) Conservation results expressed through the level of satisfaction and the ability to restore and maintain cultural values. The study found limitati ons including the lack of inter-sectoral coordination mechanisms, unstable investment resources, and superficial community consultation. The study proposed solutions to improve the substance of policies, increase sustainable investment, and especially empower ethnic minority communities to play a central role in preserving and promoting national cultural identity.
