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./.
Once a mountainous province facing many challenges, Hoa Binh has, after more than a decade of implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area development, emerged as a bright spot in Vietnam’s northern midland and mountainous region. In the first quarter of 2025, the province recorded positive results, paving the way for Hoa Binh to enter a phase of accelerated growth with a proactive and confident mindset.
Hoa Binh province is steadily advancing its agricultural sector through the adoption of high-tech solutions, seen as a sustainable path for long-term development.
The steering committee for key projects of Hoa Binh province convened on May 14 to assess the progress of major ongoing developments
A delegation of Hoa Binh province has attended the "Meet Korea 2025" event, recently held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea (RoK) in Vietnam, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, and the People's Committee of Hung Yen province.
Hoa Binh province joined Vietnam’s national "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme in 2019, not simply as a mountainous region following central policy, but with a clear vision to revive the cultural and agricultural values in its villages and crops.
From just 16 certified products in its inaugural year to 158 by early 2025, the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme in Hoa Binh province has followed a steady and strategic path. But beyond the numbers, it has reawakened local heritage, turning oranges, bamboo shoots, brocade, and herbal remedies into branded, market-ready goods - and, more profoundly, transformed how local communities value and present their own cultural identity.
