(HBO) – Considering socio-economic development and sustainable poverty reduction as key tasks, over the past years, Hoa Binh province has issued both short- and long-term resolutions and built detailed action plans to carry out those resolutions and central agencies’ directions, thereby greatly helping with poverty elimination.
Farmers in Cao Duong commune (Luong Son district) have
replaced inefficient crops with citrus trees to raise their income.
Hoa Binh has carried out the national target
programme on sustainable poverty reduction by using funding from the central
budget and its own. It has also made use of other resources and the public’s
contributions to programme implementation.
Since 2016, the province has mobilised over 1.18
trillion VND (50.6 million USD) for projects under the national target
programme on sustainable poverty reduction, of which almost 779 billion VND was
sourced from the central budget, 23.8 billion VND from the local budget, and
38.9 billion VND in non-refundable aid from Ireland. Besides, about 66 billion
VND, including contributions in the form of labour and land donation, was
provided by the local populace and organisations.
Organisations have also donated 35 billion VND
to localities and communities in Hoa Binh to equip themselves with cultural,
educational and medical facilities.
Based on the poverty standards for 2016-2020,
there were 50,959 poor households and 24,586 near-poor ones in Hoa Binh in
early 2016, respectively accounting for 24.38 percent and 11.76 percent of all
households in the province then.
Aside from objective causes like natural
disasters, accidents, illnesses or unexpected incidents, some households
suffered from poverty due to the shortage of land, skills, jobs, capital,
knowledge or experience.
Realising that fact, provincial authorities
built plans on poverty elimination for 2016-2020 right at the outset of the
period. During the implementation process, Hoa Binh has benefited from
ministries and central agencies’ directions, the responsible participation of
local departments, sectors and localities, as well as people’s support.
As a result, poverty reduction efforts have
proved fruitful. The implemented programmes and policies have helped improve
the material and spiritual lives of ethnic minorities. Infrastructure has been
developed; people’s demand for housing, residential and agricultural land, and
water satisfied; and education and health care improved.
Additionally, the local political system has
been consolidated thanks to more training provided for ethnic minority cadres.
Targets of the sustainable poverty reduction
programme have been basically achieved. In particular, the poverty rate has
been cut down by 3.16 percent annually on average between 2016 and 2020,
compared to the target rate of 3 percent./.
The 4th Congress of Ethnic Minority Groups of Hoa Binh province was successfully held on November 15 at the provincial Culture Centre.
In line with the Politburo’s Directive No. 05-CT/TW on promoting the study of and adherence to President Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality, and lifestyle, the Party Organisation of Kim Boi district has been focusing on developing practical models that align with the roles and realities of local agencies and communities involved. Through this initiative, numerous officials and Party members have emerged as exemplary figures, leading by example in learning from and following the late leader.
Hoa Binh province has paid due attention to developing Party membership in non-state enterprises, helping improve the role of the Party committees, organisations and members in the firms.
A delegation from the National Assembly (NA), led by Lieutenant General Tran Quang Phuong, member of the Party Central Committee and Vice Chairman of the National Assembly, on November 10 visited and presented gifts to poor households and policy beneficiary families in Yen Tri commune, Yen Thuy district of Hoa Binh.
Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Tran Quang Phuong attended the ceremony to mark the 60th founding anniversary of Yen Thuy district, Hoa Binh province, on November 10.
The Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee has issued a conclusion reviewing the three years implementing its resolution on preserving and promoting cultural values in Hoa Binh province for 2021 – 2025 with a vision towards 2030.
