Having implemented a project on developing the agro-forestry sector and capitalising on the locality’s potential and strengths to produce goods in value chain, Kim Boi district of Hoa Binh province has generated jobs for local residents, helping them to create sustainable livelihoods.
Acacia seedlings are provided for local farmers.
Kim Lap, a remote commune with more than 90% of its population being ethnic minority people, built a cross-bred cow farming project worth over 400 million VND (15,700 USD), providing calves and technical training for 48 poor and near-poor households. Thanks to the model, many locals have escaped poverty.
Striving to become a new-style rural commune in 2024, Thach Yen has integrated various resources to help its residents improve incomes. During 2022-2023, it joined hands with competent divisions of the district to support job transition for rural youths, development of pig farming for impoverished households, and acacia seedlings for those in difficulties.
Vice Chairman of the communal People’s Committee Bui Van Hau said local ethnic minority people have also received assistance in economic management and introduction of products to the market.
According to Nguyen Van Tien, an official from the province’s board for ethnic minority affairs, Hoa Binh is carrying out various projects to create sustainable livelihoods for its residents. As of April, more than 94.14 billion VND was disbursed for them, or 44.55% of the allocated capital.
With the money, the board has worked closely with relevant sides to improve the efficiency of the local production, prioritising support for agricultural cooperatives to apply advanced technologies and promote value chain.
To date, localities have successfully developed over 30 cooperative brands such as Mai Chau purple garlic, Pa Co – Hang Kia black chicken, Muong Dong bamboo-tube rice, and Son Thuy longan. Production linkages have been maintained, bringing high revenue to firms and cooperatives, he said.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee has agreed in principle on a proposal by the Standing Board of the Party Committee of Hoa Binh city to gather feedback on the city’s 1:2000 zoning plan, which forms part of its broader urban development strategy.
Hoa Binh province has made notable progress in public administration reform and digital government development, with the satisfaction index among citizens and businesses reaching over 84%, according to recent government evaluations.
Thanks to great efforts by local authorities in recent times, the governance and public administration performance of Mai Chau district has been significantly improved.
In the afternoon of June 6, the Party Committee, the People's Council, the People's Committee and the Fatherland Front of Lac Son district solemnly held a meeting to celebrate the 139th anniversary of the district's founding (1886–2025) and the 79th anniversary of the establishment of the district's Party Committee (1946–2025). There was the attendance of Mr. Bui Van Thang, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council; Mr. Quach Tat Liem, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee; Ms. Dang Bich Ngoc, the Deputy Head of the National Assembly Delegation of the province; as well as the former leaders of the province and district through various periods, who are the natives of the district.
Implementing the Politburo’s Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science – technology, innovation, and digital transformation is a golden opportunity for the northern mountainous province of Hoa Binh to renew growth model, improve competitive edge and shorten digital gap.
Resolution 57-NQ/TW, issued by the Politburo on December 22, 2024, identifies sci-tech, innovation, and digital transformation as strategic breakthroughs to build a developed and prosperous nation. In Hoa Binh province, this spirit is not just a slogan, it’s being put into action through concrete initiatives that form a "new development triangle”: digital citizenship, digital economy, and digital administration.
