(HBO) – After eight years implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area building, Hoa Binh city fulfilled the set target in 2018, with all of its seven communes recognised as new style rural areas.
The cultural house of Dan Chu commune in Hoa Binh city has met the local
people’s need for community activities.
Hoa Binh city has identified developing production and improving income for
local people as main objectives of the new-style rural area building programme.
Therefore, between 2011 and 2018, the city employed a range of solutions to
develop agriculture and rural areas.
It has instructed the seven communes to launch projects on developing
production and raising income of locals based on potential and advantages of
each locality. The projects aimed at forming concentrated production areas for local
specialties, such as cow breeding, vegetable, mushroom, fruit trees and fish.
Each commune has selected its own key product in response to the "One Commune,
One Product” programme for the 2017-2020 period with a vision towards 2030.
Hoa Binh city has regularly organised training courses, invested in building
production models and multiplied effective farming and animal raising models.
The city has spent more than 3.9 billion VND on the work using the local budget
for scientific-technological development.
Such efforts have helped increase local people’s income and reduce poverty rate
in rural areas. Per capita income in these areas rose from 15.8 million VND in
2011 to 38.84 million VND in 2018 while poverty rate dropped to 1.31 percent.
During the eight-year period (2011-2018), Hoa Binh city mobilised 775.6 billion
VND for new-style rural area building, with over 42.2 billion VND contributed
by the public.
At the end of 2018, all socio-economic indicators in the locality increased
many times as compared with eight years ago./.

As women's participation in key leadership positions of Hoa Binh province is still modest while some women in rural and mountainous areas or from ethnic minorities face limited access to policies, the provincial Party Committee's Organisation Board has advised the provincial Party Committee's Standing Board to direct Party committees at all levels and localities to pay more attention to training female personnel and creating favourable conditions for women to take over leadership and management roles, thus addressing a shortage in the number of female cadres.
