(HBO) - Le Chi Huyen, Vice Chairman of the Tan Lac District People's Committee, said that after the 2016-2020 period, projects that aim to support production development, diversify livelihoods and multiply sustainable poverty reduction models in extremely difficult communes in Tan Lac district still maintain effectiveness. Supporting activities from the project have gradually improved people's lives and incomes, along with other poverty reduction policies.

By the end of 2021, the poverty rate of the district decreased to 8.69% and its per capita income hit 50 million VND (about 2,000 USD) per year.




Households in Tham hamlet in Tan Lac district’s Suoi Hoa commune escape poverty thanks to the multiplying of sustainable poverty reduction models.

In the past, Dinh Cong Nhiem'sfamily in Buong hamlet, Quyet Chien commune, suffered difficulties and had to rely on the Government's support.

However, their hardship has been lessened after joining a livelihood diversification model. Especially, he was provided with young chayote trees, fertilisers and techniques for taking care of the trees.

In addition to earning from growing chayotes, he also engages in breeding livestock to raise income, thus, his family is no longer on the list of poor households.

Suoi Hoa commune once had 25 poor and near-poor households benefiting from the project of multiplying the sustainable poverty model.

Bui Thi Thuy, from Tham hamlet, said that as one of the households participating in the model, her family was provided with three breeding goats. After five years, her goat herd reach hundreds of heads. With accumulated capital from selling goats, Thuy also raised chickens and pigs, thereby, her family now enjoys a stable income.

By the end of 2020, only five communes in the district have a poverty rate of over 20% while eight communes and towns have a poverty rate of less than 10% while three communes have a rate of less than 15%. The results are attributed to the implementation of support production development and diversify livelihood and multiplying of sustainable poverty reduction models in extremely difficult communes as well as those that are included in Programme 30a and Programme 135.

 

The total capital for supporting production in extremely difficult communes was estimated at over 18.5 billion VND.

 

The district is focusing on carrying out the plans for 2022 and the 2022 – 2025 period. It is also reviewing the number of poor and near-poor households this year and those with average living standards.

Along with investing in upgrading infrastructure at extremely difficult communes, the district will continue to implement projects to support production, diversify livelihoods, and multiply poverty reduction models, thus contributing to realising poverty reduction targets in beneficiary communes and hamlets./.
