(HBO) – A delegation comprising officials of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Committee, the Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, the Women’s Union, the Farmers’ Union and the Federation of Labour of Hoa Binh province on June 11 examined the provision of aid for people facing difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in Yen Thuy district.
Support for the pandemic-hit people was provided under the
Government’s Resolution 42/NQ-CP issued on April 9 and the Prime Minister’s
Decision 15/2020/QD-TTg on April 24.
Following the plan of the provincial People’s
Committee, from May 2 to 8, the Yen Thuy division for labour, invalids and
social affairs coordinated with the district’s post office to give financial
aid totaling over 10.38 billion VND (445,700 USD) to 11,033 locals. They
included 812 revolutionary contributors, 1,994 welfare beneficiaries, 3,203
members of poor households, and 5,024 others from near-poor families.
The local VFF committee and relevant organisations
monitored the entire process, from making lists of recipients to providing aid.
The district’s authorities haven’t recorded any complaints from locals so far.
However, the inspection delegation still found
out some eligible cases left unpaid or some getting support more than once.
Relevant agencies immediately took actions to correct their mistakes.
At the inspection session, the Lac Thuy
administration proposed the provincial People’s Committee provide funding to
cover the money the district has advanced to pay beneficiaries. It also asked
for detailed guidance in defining which labourers without contracts are eligible
for support.
Leaders
of the provincial VFF Committee and the delegation asked local authorities to
press on with communications to help the public understand more about the
support policy and its targeted beneficiaries. They also requested strong
coordination among the local VFF committee, organisations and relevant agencies
in monitoring the policy implementation.
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.
