(HBO) – Na Phon commune in Mai Chau district achieved only three out of the 19 new-style rural building criteria when it started the programme in 2011. At that time, the commune’s poverty rate was 25.5 percent and the per capita per capita, just 10 million VND per year.
As locals play a significant part in the
implementation of the programme, the commune has earned the new-style rural
status by the end of 2019, with per capita income increasing to 32.5 million VND and the poverty rate brought to 4.6 percent.
Rural roads in Na Phon commune, Mai Chau
district, are upgraded to reach new-style rural standards
and meet local travel demand.
The commune
has mobilised a total of nearly 71.84 billion VND in funding for the new-style
rural programme, 18.63 billion VND of which was sourced from people. The fund
has been invested in building roads and developing infrastructure and production.
With the motto
"the State and people do it together”, the commune has allocated over 24 billion VND for road projects. Thanks to
that, its network of inter-commune and inter-village roads has been concreted to facilitate travel and
economic production.
Keeping in
mind that economic development and income improvement are the two key tasks,
the commune has taken advantage of new-style rural funding, the World Bank’s
financial assistance and State budget to expand production. It has applied
advanced technology, shifted
to farming of more sustainable crops and animals, and studied the market. Thanks to such efforts, local income has improved.
In addition,
the commune has continued accelerating support for scaling up effective
business models, for example safe vegetable production and husbandry, and
community-based tourism.
To keep up the
good work, the commune plans to boost investment in rural infrastructure and
production. It will develop agriculture in tandem with tourism, services and
trade; preserve cultural identity; build green and clean environment; and
strengthen the political system
at the grassroot level./.
