(HBO) – Building civilised families is among the tasks of a campaign entitled "All people join hands to build civilised lives”. The implementation of the task has been strengthened in Phong Phu commune (Tan Lac district) over the recent years and, as a result, 86.9 percent of the households received the title of civilised families in 2018.

Cultural staff of Phong Phu commune (Tan Lac district)
disseminate criteria of civilised families to local people.
Since the launch of the
campaign "All people join hands to build civilised lives”, the Party Committee
and the People’s Committee of the commune formed a steering board and devised
its regulations. The campaign has been disseminated to all local residents.
Each year, the local
households are informed of the assessment for civilised families in an open,
fair, and rule-based manner.
The steering board is expected
to answer people’s expectation and promptly address difficulties during the
campaign.
The building of civilised
families has proved effective in enhancing power of the national unity in the socio-economic
development. Notably, the movement on hunger eradication and poverty reduction
recorded high efficiency, with the rate of poor households brought down to 5.6
percent in 2018.
With the due attention of
the Party Committee and authorities in the steering and communication work
towards the building of civilised families, in the 2016-2018 period, Phong Phu
commune saw 770 households winning the title for three consecutive years. Of
the number, 55 families were honoured with prizes and eight out of the nine
residential areas recognised as civilised villages.
The development of the
civilised families building has given a facelift to Phong Phu commune’s rural
areas, and material and spiritual lives of the local people were improved. The
annual per capita income in the commune hit 34.2 million VND. Local people
comply with guideline, policies and regulations of the Party and State, while
cultural traits of Muong ethnic minority were conserved and bolstered in the modern
context./.
