(HBO) – Hoa Binh province has given a facelift to rural areas, improved local livelihoods, and reduced poverty rate thanks to implementation of the provincial Party Committee’s Resolution 16 dated August 11, 2017 on enhancing leadership in carrying out the national target programme on sustainable poverty reduction by 2020 with a vision to 2030.
The
youths in Suoi Hoa commune, Tan Lac district launch the "Green Sunday” campaign
– a voluntary activity in underprivileged areas.
With specific policies, the province attained significant achievements in the
sustainable poverty reduction after three years. Due attention has been paid to
construction of essential infrastructure in difficult and particularly
difficult localities, helping the poor
get access to basic social services like accommodation, fresh water, health care,
education, and social welfare, among others.
The policies have contributed to shifting local agriculture from small-scale
production to commodity production. Besides, local famers have focused on
applying advanced technologies into cultivation, forming production chains
coupled with origin tracing of agricultural products.
The project on supporting 36 poorest villages and hamlets was integrated with Programme
135, bringing in positive results such as reducing the rate of poor and near
poor households, providing power and building roads for difficult villages, and
developing production to meet locals’ demand.
Particularly, the poverty rate has been cut 3.6 percent per year on average,
forecast to stand at 8.56 percent by the end of this year./.
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.
