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./.
With the motto of "polite, dedicated, professional, and lawful,” over the years, Phu Cuong commune in Tan Lac district has gradually improved the quality of processing administrative procedures, winning high satisfaction from local people and businesses.
Stretching over 300 meters, valued at hundreds of million dong and built to the new-style rural standards, a concrete road in De hamlet, Bac Phong commune, Cao Phong district, was completed by the end of 2023 thanks to the collective contributions of armed forces at provincial and district levels coupled with the active participation of military units stationed throughout the district.
Over the years, the People’s Committee of Lac Thuy district has issued many plans and programmes to speed up the administrative reform, aiming to better serve local people and businesses.
Kim Boi district is drafting 23 planning projects which are expected to help boost the local socio-economic development, attract investors, and mobilise resources for development, said Vice chairman of the district People’s Committee Tran Tuan Son.
They include the one on Bo urban area development until 2045, 20 zoning, and 12 on rural residential areas in communes.
This year, Hoa Binh province strives to have eight communes recognised as meeting new-style rural area standards and five communes satisfying exemplary new-style rural area standards. Since the beginning of the year, the provincial People's Committee has drastically directed the implementation of the national target programme on new-style rural area building to fulfil the set target.
Cao Phong district achieved positive socio-economic development results last year as drastic comprehensive measures were implemented with high determination of its whole political system, said the Secretary of the district Party Committee Ha Van Di.
