A meeting to review the province’s socio-economic development in the first half of 2024 took place on July 3 under the chair of Standing Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Toan. Participants discussed and gave opinions on draft documents that will be submitted to the standing board of the provincial Party Committee, documents under the promulgation authority of the provincial People's Committee, and other matters serving the management, direction, and administration of the People's Committee.
The meeting also discussed and gave opinions on a draft scenario for growth,
and tasks and solutions to promote growth in the remaining months of 2024.
According to the provincial Department of Planning and Investment, in the last
six months, the province’s GRDP expanded by 1.81%. Localities in the province
encountered various problems in the disbursement of public investment capital,
land management, land clearance, and infrastructure construction.
The provincial People's Committee has set out five groups of tasks and
solutions to promote growth in the second half, asking departments and sectors
to concentrate on attracting investment, improving the investment and business
environment, enhancing competitiveness, and increasing the budget revenue to
ensure sufficient funding for projects and compensate for revenue shortfalls
from previous years.
Attention must be paid to speeding up public investment disbursement, which is
a critical task to build comprehensive infrastructure, facilitate goods
circulation, attract investment, and stimulate production, thus contributing to
economic growth, participants said.
They also underlined the necessity to address difficulties facing enterprises’
production and business activities, accelerate the implementation of key
projects, stipulate consumption demand, and expand export markets.
Delegates suggested the provincial People's Committee direct the provincial
Department of Planning and Investment to provide further details in the growth
scenario in order to realise the annual GRDP growth target of 9%. They said
that it is necessary to analyse each economic sector contributing to the
province's economic growth, and propose measures to compensate for those that
may not meet set targets.
Vice Chairman Toan asked the department to consult more opinions of relevant
agencies to continue to detail the growth scenario in the remaining months of
the year.
Sectors and localities were required to review key tasks, develop plans and
implementation roadmaps, promote decentralisation of state management for
assigned tasks, strengthen coordination between departments and sectors, and
establish an inter-sectoral working group to promptly remove difficulties for
projects.
Toan requested departments, sectors and localities to pay heed to completely
resolving the issues that voters raised at the last regular meeting of the
provincial People's Council.
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.
