(HBO) – Hoa Binh province has carried out many governmental support policies for the poor in an effective, timely manner to foster sustainable poverty reduction. These policies have contributed to developing local production, improving people’s income, particularly the poor and people from ethnic minority groups.

People in the mountainous commune of Quyet Chien, Tan Lac district have access to clean water from a project funded by Programme 135.

The total fund for the implementation of the national target programme for sustainable poverty reduction in Hoa Binh exceeds 1.185 trillion VND from 2016 – 2020.

Over 3.1 trillion VND has been provided in soft loans for the poor and near-poor households; people going to work abroad as guest workers; and those in disadvantaged areas; or to develop household businesses, forest farming and husbandry; construct clean water supply and rural environmental sanitation projects; and create jobs.

Over the last five years, all poor and near-poor households, ethnic minority people living in disadvantaged and extremely disadvantaged areas have been covered with free health insurance while students from extremely disadvantaged villages and communes have received financial aid to cover tuition fees and expenditure.

Thanks to such effort, the province’s poverty rate fell by 3.09 percent annually in average from 2016 – 2020. At the same time, average income of the poor and near-poor households increased from 44.58 million VND per year in 2016 to 55.1 million VND per year in 2019.

Over 80 percent of the communal main roads have been concreted; 80 percent of commune-based medical stations now have sufficient facilities to delivery healthcare services covered by health insurance and 75 percent of local households have access to clean water./.
