As part of the efforts to implement Resolution
120, provincial departments and sectors have popilarised to the Party members
and locals on the purposes, meaning and significance of the document.
The provincial People’s Committee has directed
the revision and definition of ethnic minority and mountainous areas in
accordance to their development level in the 2021-2025 period, so that ethnic
policies will be applied in 151 administrative units at commune, ward and
township levels.
The province has proposed the Government
Committee for Ethnic Affairs to consider the selection of Da Bac district to
implement the item of "growing valuable herbal plants” of the programme.
Addressing the session, Ngo Van Tuan, Secretary
of the provincial Party Committee, said that the ethnic affair work has
received great attention from the province. The resolution issued at the 17th
Party Congress of the province also set particular ethnic-related targets,
including reducing the rate of communes with extreme difficult conditions to
under 30 percent in 2025. To this end, the province hopes for support from the
central agencies in investing in the infrastructure system, especially transport,
he said.
He expressed hope that assistance will be
provided to Da Bac district to implement the project of cultivating herbal
plants, and forest planting and maintenance. Alongside, it is necessary to
design investment policy for Kim Boi district as a special area of the province
to help local communes complete all criteria of the programme.
The proposals of the province were summarised by
the Minister-Chairman of the Government Committee for Ethnic Affairs who
pledged to create favourable conditions in investment capital for the province
to implement projects that match its real demands, aiming for sustainable
poverty reduction among ethnic minority groups.
For the proposals that belong to the authority
of the Government, the committee will submit them to the Prime Minister for
consideration and response./.
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.
