(HBO) - Da Bac district in the northwestern province of Hoa Binh has created a facelift in infrastructure over the recent years, helping boost production and increase local incomes. Particularly, with the high determination of the district’s Party Committee and People’s Committee, Da Bac has achieved positive outcomes in rural building and tourism development.

With
the support of local authorities, villagers have changed their mindset to make
investment in tourism development, especially tapping cultural values to
develop community-based tourism. Ke, Sung, and Da Bia hamlets have made their
way to the local tourism map, luring both domestic and international tourists.
Da Bia hamlet is one of the three community-based tourism sites nationwide to
receive the ASEAN community tourism award in 2019.
Besides, the district is also tapping fishery
development potential by building a production cooperation chain and market
connection. Many businesses have invested in building brands for Da River’s
fish, contributing to poverty reduction in the area.
The mountainous district is also leading in
applying information and management technology. Previously, it took several
days to reach Da Bac’s hamlets as they were accessible only by foot, but now it
is just a few hours by cars. The production mindset of local farmers has also
changed. Many have learned to use and manage banks’ capital to develop animal
husbandry, grow forestry, and fruits.
In the five-year implementation of the
resolution adopted at the district’s 24th Party Congress, Da Bac district
reached and surpassed 23 out of the 24 criteria. The district focused on
addressing natural disasters’ consequences and soon stabilised the life of
locals victimised by flash floods and landslides.
In the coming years, local authorities
will push ahead with reforms and increase capacity, responsibility of officials
and Party members, as well as creating social consensus to help the district
get out of poverty and achieve sustainable development./.
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.
