(HBO) - Many effective economic development models have been formed and duplicated in Lac Son district over the recent times thanks to the "smart mass mobilisation" work implemented in the locality.



Many households in Bui hamlet, Nhan Nghia commune (Lac Son district), have developed the craft of bamboo and rattan weaving, which helps increase their incomes.

Ethnic minorities in Hoa Binh account for 74.31% of the province’s population which includes Muong, Thai, Tay, Dao, Mong and some others.

In ethnic minority areas, the economy mainly relies on non-commercial agricultural and forestry production. The average per capita income is only around 40 - 45% of the province's. Although the poverty rate has decreased, there remains a high risk of relapse. The situation requires more effective mass mobilisation work.

Over the recent years, the Party committees, local authorities, the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF)’s chapter in Hoa Binh and political and social organisations have intensified communication and education efforts to raise awareness among officials, party members, and local residents of ethnic affairs.

Various programmes, policies, and investment projects have been implemented to support and promote socio-economic development in ethnic minority areas, resulting in positive changes in socio-economic development in the locality and enhancing the great national solidarity.

Bui Tien Luc, head of the provincial Party Committee’s mass mobilisation commission and President of the province’s VFF, said the mass mobilisation system at all levels has strengthened coordination with agencies and sectors, thus proactively grasping and advising the Party committees on handling complex issues in ethnic minority area.

Attention has been paid to promoting the role of reputable individuals in ethnic minority areas, he added.

Hoa Binh has 1,276 reputable individuals in ethnic minority areas. They serve as a backbone and vital link between the Party committees, local authorities, and people, contributing to mobilising and encouraging ethnic minority people to effectively follow the Party's guidelines and the State’s policies, and laws; and strengthening the great national solidarity bloc.

The provincial People's Committee has directed specialised agencies to closely monitor the tasks related to ethnic affairs, particularly concentrating resources on developing infrastructure serving socio-economic development in difficult communes.

Hoa Binh has so far had 73 communes recognised as new-style rural areas, accounting for 56.58% of the total. It has developed 123 products meeting the standards of the "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme. The annual poverty rate in the locality has been reduced by 3%.

The socio-economic development is closely linked to investment in developing transport infrastructure, electricity grids, and hydropower projects in remote and mountainous, and ethnic minority areas.

The specific policies aimed at supporting socio-economic development in ethnic minority areas have been effectively implemented, helping improve living conditions for the communities.
