Chairman of the Hoa Binh city People's Committee Pham Anh

provincial Party Committee, People’s Council, People’s Committee, and various
ministries, central agencies, local departments and sectors, as well as the
concerted efforts and strong determination of the Party Committee,
administration, and people of Hoa Binh city.
A ceremony is scheduled to take place in March 2025 to
officially announce Hoa Binh city as a Tier-2 urban area.
Hoa Binh city is gathering feedback from ministries and sectors regarding its proposal for tier-2 urban status. After years of development from its tier-3 foundation, the city is awaiting inclusion in the country’s list of more than 30 tier-2 urban centres.
During the last days of 2024, work on the Canh Tang reservoir, a key irrigation project in both the province and the country and the northern region, proceeded intensively. Hundreds of workers and engineers have been striving to complete the main components by April 30, and finalise the entire project by 2026.
The national target programme on building new-style rural areas has been carried out harmoniously in Cao Phong district, giving a facelift to the locality while improving the living quality of the residents.
Over recent years, the Farmers' Union of Mai Chau district has implemented numerous specific programmes and activities to support its members in developing products under the One Commune One (OCOP) programme. These efforts have contributed to enhancing local agricultural branding, increasing goods value, and improving incomes and living standards for residents.
Since 2022, the Hoa Binh Department of Education and Training has provided advice for the provincial People's Committee to issue Plan No. 219/KH-UBND on November 17, 2022, which outlines the implementation of a project titled "Enhancing the application of Information Technology (IT) and Digital Transformation in Education and Training for the 2022–2025 period, with a vision to 2030.” As of now, the local education sector has made significant progress in IT adoption and digital transformation.
Hoa Binh allocated over 30 trillion VND (nearly 1.18 billion USD) to develop infrastructure systems in ethnic minority and mountainous areas during 2019 - 2024. Priority was given to transport and irrigation infrastructure; markets; schools; medical stations; communal houses; and power grid, telecommunication, radio, and television systems.
