the conference
In 2013, the
province ranked 36 villages as the poorest with high rate of poverty, poor infrastructure,
and low income of local residents. On January 20, 2014, the provincial People’s
Committee issued Decision No.73/QD-UBND, approving a project on supporting
those localities with total investment of 133.9 billion VND. The project is
designed to improve local infrastructure, develop production to raise locals’
income, and preserve traditional cultural values.
After five years implementing the projects, the rate of poor and
near-poor households in those villages fell by an average 5 percent per year,
from 41 percent in 2014 to 31 percent in 2018. Roads and electricity facilities
have been built in most of the villages.
All capital allocated to production development has been disbursed.
Thanks to the project, Mai Hoang Son village in Mai Chau
district’s Mai Hich commune, and Dau Khu village in Hoa Binh city’s Thong Nhat
commune have escaped from poverty and been excluded from the list of poorest
villages in the province.
However, due to capital shortage, several targets of the project have not been
realised, with more than 60 percent of planned infrastructure items not
receiving investment yet. Some villages have not received investment for
building automobile-accessible roads and clean water facilities. There is a
lack of standard schools, cultural houses and irrigational systems, while the existing
facilities are degrading. In addition, although many production models have
shown efficiency, they have failed to produce pervasive effects. Particularly,
many villages have been hard hit by landslide and flooding in the past two
years, including So hamlet in Trung Thanh commune and Nhap village in Da Bac
district’s Dong Ruong commune, with most essential infrastructure and
production models destroyed./.
