(HBO) – Considering socio-economic development and sustainable poverty reduction as key tasks, over the past years, Hoa Binh province has issued both short- and long-term resolutions and built detailed action plans to carry out those resolutions and central agencies’ directions, thereby greatly helping with poverty elimination.
Farmers in Cao Duong commune (Luong Son district) have
replaced inefficient crops with citrus trees to raise their income.
Hoa Binh has carried out the national target
programme on sustainable poverty reduction by using funding from the central
budget and its own. It has also made use of other resources and the public’s
contributions to programme implementation.
Since 2016, the province has mobilised over 1.18
trillion VND (50.6 million USD) for projects under the national target
programme on sustainable poverty reduction, of which almost 779 billion VND was
sourced from the central budget, 23.8 billion VND from the local budget, and
38.9 billion VND in non-refundable aid from Ireland. Besides, about 66 billion
VND, including contributions in the form of labour and land donation, was
provided by the local populace and organisations.
Organisations have also donated 35 billion VND
to localities and communities in Hoa Binh to equip themselves with cultural,
educational and medical facilities.
Based on the poverty standards for 2016-2020,
there were 50,959 poor households and 24,586 near-poor ones in Hoa Binh in
early 2016, respectively accounting for 24.38 percent and 11.76 percent of all
households in the province then.
Aside from objective causes like natural
disasters, accidents, illnesses or unexpected incidents, some households
suffered from poverty due to the shortage of land, skills, jobs, capital,
knowledge or experience.
Realising that fact, provincial authorities
built plans on poverty elimination for 2016-2020 right at the outset of the
period. During the implementation process, Hoa Binh has benefited from
ministries and central agencies’ directions, the responsible participation of
local departments, sectors and localities, as well as people’s support.
As a result, poverty reduction efforts have
proved fruitful. The implemented programmes and policies have helped improve
the material and spiritual lives of ethnic minorities. Infrastructure has been
developed; people’s demand for housing, residential and agricultural land, and
water satisfied; and education and health care improved.
Additionally, the local political system has
been consolidated thanks to more training provided for ethnic minority cadres.
Targets of the sustainable poverty reduction
programme have been basically achieved. In particular, the poverty rate has
been cut down by 3.16 percent annually on average between 2016 and 2020,
compared to the target rate of 3 percent./.
In the spirit of "Party members go first, the people follow”, all households of Party members in the Doan Ket sub-region in Da Bac town, Da Bac district, voluntarily removed gates and fences, and donated land when the road expansion project passed through their properties. Inspired by their example, 68 households in the sub-region quickly followed suit, contributing over 1,400 sq.m of residential and perennial cropland to widen the main road through the residential area. The exemplary role of Party members in Doan Ket stands as a shining example of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, morality, and lifestyle.
The Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee held a monthly meeting on May 29 to assess the implementation of socio-economic development tasks in the first six months of 2025, the progress of key projects, and some other important issues.
During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh always expressed his deep affection and special concern for children and youth. He once emphasized: "Caring for and educating children well is the responsibility of the entire Party and the entire people”; "First of all, the family (i.e. grandparents, parents, siblings) must do this job well”. "the Party Committees…, the Children’s Committee, the Youth Union, the education sector, and all related organizations must have specific plans to ensure children grow healthier and more progressive”. His teachings has been remaining valuable and serving as the guiding principles in the work of protecting, caring for, and educating children. In line with this ideology, Hoa Binh Province has continuously been prioritizing and investing resources in the well-being of children in recent years.
