Overall, the province's PAR index has increased in scores from 2016 to 2020. It
has been up 8.78 percent over the past five years with a year-on-year rise of
2.22 percent in 2020 alone.
There has been
improvement in many areas including directing the administration of PAR,
reforming administrative procedures, building and improving the quality of the
contingent of cadres, civil servants, and public employees, public finance
reform, and administrative modernisation. Building and enhancing the quality of
cadres, civil servants, and public employees, public administration reform,
administrative modernisation are the ones that enjoy the highest growth.
At the conference, the provincial PAR steering committee also pointed out the
limitations, namely a low disbursement of State invested capital of some
agencies and localities in 2020. The proportion of online public services at
levels 3 and 4 of the province provided on the National Public Service Portal
hasn't been met the requirement. State budget revenue in 2020 did not achieve
the set plan and the growth rate of the gross domestic product in the locality
was not higher than that of 2019. The four socio-economic targets in 2020 did
not meet the desired target.
Bui Van Khanh, Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, Chairman of
the provincial People's Committee and head of the provincial PAR steering
committee, emphasised that to improve the PAR index, departments, agencies, and
district’s People's Committees should strengthen leadership, focusing on
completing their set targets.
It was necessary to attach the responsibility of the leader in completing the
targets, he said.
The Department of Science and Technology was assigned to enhance solutions to
implement initiatives in PAR. Attention should be paid to completing the
arrangement of the state apparatus after merging, restructure of specialised
divisions, concentrating on carrying out measures to meet the disbursement plan
for State budget investment. The inspection of official duties and enforcement
of discipline should also be intensified./.
Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.
In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.
Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.
Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.
Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.
Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
