(HBO) - The People’s Committee of Mai Chau district and the GNI organization of the Republic of Korea on November 25 signed a Memorandum of Understanding on cooperating to implement the KIA Green Light Project in Vietnam.
Representatives
from the People’s Committee of Mai Chau district and the GNI sign the MoU.
It is estimated that 23.9 tonnes of waste are
discharged in Mai Chau district each day. The district already has a waste treatment
facility in Xam Khoe commune, which processes 6.8 tonnes of garbage collected
from six out of 17 communes and towns in the district. The facility cannot meet
the demand for waste sorting and treatment in the district due to the big
volume of waste. Therefore, the new project is hoped to improve the
environmental sanitation, create sustainable livelihood and enhance the quality
of life in the district.
The project focuses on four main contents, which
are upgrading the waste treatment facility in Xam Khoe, building a playground
for children using recycled materials, launching an environmental protection
awareness campaign, and setting up and running a group to develop recycling as
a livelihood.
The project is being implemented from September
this year to December 2021 at a total investment of 379,774 USD (8 billion
VND).
At the MoU signing ceremony, signing parties
pledged to ensure waste treatment, contributing to improving the environment,
protecting public health and creating green, clean and beautiful landscape in
residential areas in the district./.
Over recent years, the Farmers' Union of Mai Chau district has implemented numerous specific programmes and activities to support its members in developing products under the One Commune One (OCOP) programme. These efforts have contributed to enhancing local agricultural branding, increasing goods value, and improving incomes and living standards for residents.
Since 2022, the Hoa Binh Department of Education and Training has provided advice for the provincial People's Committee to issue Plan No. 219/KH-UBND on November 17, 2022, which outlines the implementation of a project titled "Enhancing the application of Information Technology (IT) and Digital Transformation in Education and Training for the 2022–2025 period, with a vision to 2030.” As of now, the local education sector has made significant progress in IT adoption and digital transformation.
Hoa Binh allocated over 30 trillion VND (nearly 1.18 billion USD) to develop infrastructure systems in ethnic minority and mountainous areas during 2019 - 2024. Priority was given to transport and irrigation infrastructure; markets; schools; medical stations; communal houses; and power grid, telecommunication, radio, and television systems.
The Hoa Binh provincial organising committee for anniversary activities on December 17 held a ceremony to unveil a ceramic mural on the local military-civilian ties and release a book on the Party and political work of the provincial armed forces during 1947 – 2024, in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) and 35th anniversary of the All-People Defence Festival.
In recent years, Hoa Binh has allocated significant resources to foster cooperative economy, helping ethnic minorities capitalise on their potential and advantages to escape poverty.
As a mountainous district still facing numerous challenges, Da Bac has made notable progress in advancing administrative reforms across various areas. The district has prioritised reorganising and streamlining its administrative apparatus, operating "one-stop-shop” units, and applying information technology (IT) in the handling of administrative procedures. Efforts have also been directed toward upgrading infrastructure and equipment to enhance service quality for residents and businesses.
