million VND in 2011, and this was brought to 26 million VND last year. The rate
of poor households was reduced to 10.7 percent and that of near-poor
households, 14.2 percent. Up to 86.5 percent of local households were

standards. Health insurance coverage in the locality was 95.3 percent, and
92.9% of the total households had access to clean water.
Dong Phong aims to maintain and improve the
quality of the 19 criteria during the 2018-2020 period. The locality will
invest more in rural socio-economic infrastructure, promote production, improve
material and spiritual life of local people and ensure sustainable development.
