Up to now, Kim Boi district has 6 out of the16 communes meeting the standards of the new rural areas including communes: Nam Thuong, Sao Bay, Vinh Dong, My Hoa, Dong Bac, Vinh Tien (reaching 37.5%); no communes are meeting the standards of the advanced or model rural areas.
Kim Boi district has determined to focus the
resources to complete the essential infrastructure for the communes trying to
reach the goal of the new rural areas in the period of 2021 - 2025 (In the

According to the planned targets assigned by the
Provincial People's Committee, by the end of 2025, 10 communes are meeting the
standards of the new rủal areas in Kim Boi district, accounting for 62.5% of
the total number of the communes in the region; 4 out of the 16 communes
meeting the advanced rural standards (accounting for 25%); 1 out of the 16
communes meeting the standards of the model rural areas (accounting for 6.25%).
However, according to the District People's Committee, during the
implementation process, there are many difficulties, especially in the
resources to implement the infrastructure criteria for the communes trying to
reach the finish line. Through reviewing and assessing the actual needs, the
District’s People's Committee has proposed that the Provincial People's
Committee consider and support funding for implementing 5 projects with a total
estimated capital of 38.9 billion VND. These are the essential infrastructure
projects, making an important contribution to the district completing its
investment plan for the communes trying to achieve the standards of the new
rural areas, the advanced and model rural areas in the period of 2021 - 2025.
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.
