During the implementation of the national target programme on new-style rural area building in 2016-2018, the province fulfilled more than 65 percent of the criteria and tasks which were assigned by the Prime Minister until 2020, despite a range of challenges. All communes have met at least seven criteria of the programme and Hoa Binh city is expected to receive the status of new-style rural area this year.

This was attributable to the efforts of party committees, administrations and Fatherland Front Committees at all levels, along with all organisations from provincial to grass-root levels and local people.

Total financial sources to carry out the target programme on new-style rural area building in three years reached about 6,654 billion VND (293 million USD). As a result, infrastructure has been upgraded, giving a facelift to rural areas.

Many production models prove to be effective, generating high income for local people. Per capita income in Hoa Binh’s rural areas in 2018 was estimated at 24.8 million VND (1,063 USD). To date, 51 communes of the province have been recognised as new-style rural areas, equivalent to 67 percent of the plan. Each commune has fulfilled an average of 12.62 of the total criteria, or 85 percent of the plan.

The national target programme on sustainable poverty reduction also saw positive outcomes, as infrastructure in disadvantaged regions has been built. Policies on poverty alleviation have been promptly carried out, which improve people’s welfare and access to social services.

Therefore, in late 2017, the province’s poor household rate dropped to 18 percent, (38,293 families). The figure sees an annual decrease of 3.19 percent, meeting the target.

In late 2018, the rate is expected to fall 14.9 percent, down 3.1 percent year-on-year and 9.48 percent against the same period of 2016, representing a annual decline of 3.16 percent./.
