A project to build a road from Da Bac town (Da Bac) to Thanh Son district of Phu Tho province is invested by the People's Committee of Da Bac district with a total capital of 250 billion VND (9.8 million USD). When completed, it will be a vital traffic route connecting the two provinces, contributing to the development of the road traffic infrastructure system in Da Bac district, and adding motivation to promote local socio-economic development.
Construction is accelerated on road linking Luong Son to Kim Boi. Once completed, it promises to open up new development opportunities.
Da Bac mountainous district currently has 89.72% of its population being ethnic minorities. For many years, traffic difficulties have been a "bottleneck" hindering the development of the district as well as people's lives. Therefore, the top priority when implementing investment policies is to focus resources on essential infrastructure, with a focus on road transport infrastructure. This is also a focus in the implementation of the national target programme for socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas in Da Bac district.
In the provincial scale, in recent years, Hoa Binh has been concentrating resources to prioritise systematic development of transportation infrastructure, especially regional transport and key transport projects to create socio-economic development breakthroughs. Localities have prioritised investment resources to develop road traffic infrastructure, considering this as one of the strategic breakthroughs in infrastructure development in particular and socio-economic development in general.
According to the provincial Department of Transport, currently, Hoa Binh has about 10,990 km of roads. The province has increased the rate of asphalt and concrete commune roads and roads from the commune centre to 88%, exceeding the plan set for 2025. The rate of asphalt and concrete village and inter-village roads reaches 71.6%, alleys 60.53%, and intra-field roads 18.8%.
In efforts to invest in developing transport infrastructure in a concerted and effective manner to meet the requirements of sustainable development, the province has also prioritised investment resources for ethnic minority and mountainous areas. As a province with a high proportion of ethnic minorities (74% of the population), Hoa Binh determines its key task to invest in developing ethnic minority areas, considering this a strategic solution that will contribute to successfully implementing socio-economic development targets for the 2020 - 2030 period. Every year, the province gives priority to programmes, projects and policies to invest in building essential infrastructure, including road traffic. This is also a fundamental solution to effectively implement projects under the national target programme for socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas in the province in the 2020 - 2030 period.
In Hoa Binh province, 11 traditional craft villages with more than 400 small-scaled production households have put in place a clean and green production model, establishing new standards for sustainable development. Waste collection sites and wastewater treatment facilities have been meticulously managed by local residents.
To make it easier for the residents to handle administrative procedures, Yen Bong Commune (Lac Thuy District) has identified the administrative reform as one of its key tasks. By implementing a range of synchronized solutions, the commune has seen the positive changes in the administrative reform, meeting the needs of its people.
Mai Chau district has firmly established itself as a standout destination on Vietnam’s tourism map, attracting both domestic and international visitors with its breathtaking landscapes, rich ethnic culture, and warm hospitality. However, beyond its natural and cultural charm, a secure and well-managed tourism environment has added to Mai Chau’s appeal.
As Vietnam enters a new phase of economic and administrative reform in 2025, Hoa Binh province is stepping up its efforts to streamline governance, boost economic growth, and attract investment.
The Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee held its monthly meeting on March 26 to review the progress of key projects, assess budget revenue and public investment disbursement, provide feedback on draft documents for submission to the provincial Party Committee's Standing Board, and discuss other important matters related to the committee's governance activities.
Playing a key role in Hoa Binh province’s economic development, Luong Son district has been focusing on science and technology development, innovation, and digital transformation.
